| Nov 27, 2012 at 5:00 | comment | added | Nikana Reklawyks | Could this answer be a little clearer on the actual status of the endgame match-up, for we awful end-gamers who'll always misplay them on both sides ? For instance, examples of winning positions without obvious forks or mate-in-n (but rather, say, “at this point, the Q can split K and R for long enough to bring the K and mate”), and examples of successful defensive setups to draw would be interesting (again, apart from trivial forced repetition). | |

| Jun 18, 2012 at 6:43 | comment | added | javatutorial | This is probably the basic endgame in which I find more difficulties. I think I'm kinda ok with pawn endgames, with other piece-only endgames, with pieces + pawns endgames, but without an understanding of this I feel a big flaw in my knowledge. Thank you for your hints, I'll go and search for that Capablanca's analysis. :) | |
