    As a beginner these videos are great for me, I recently also managed to force a draw using king and pawn using opposition rule

    โ€œWhat move would you play?โ€ โ€œKb3โ€ โ€œOk well if you said Kb3 you would lose the gameโ€

    This man has talent.. he is the only man in history to have the exact same haircut indefinitely
  • @LPChip
    At first when you said Kb3 was wrong, I was like, no. Because you can use the king to guard the pawns, push them and put his king in check creating tempo. But at the end of the video, I learned how strong these 2 pawns really are. Thank you for a great lesson. My game has improved.

    What an endgame and a lesson and you helped me in using pawns in a correct way to tie up opponent king. There's also opposition and triangulation it is really important to learn it.
  • @rotatingmind
    Thanks for this lesson, endgame is really underrated.
  • @userac-xpg
    Silmans complete endgame course goes into this in more detail. Its the best chess book ever written.

    I have a memorable game from not long ago. I had two isolated pawns (neither was a passed pawn) Vs opponents 5 pawns. They didn't know any of these rules so I just played solid as I could and they blundered one move, I won a Queen promotion by one move and then could fork check and their advanced pawn. One I captured, they resigned. At 1100 elo I never resign for this reason.
  • @Radlee.
    Immediately makes sense because Black's king is stuck guarding the white pawns. Excellent and instructive video!
  • @davidjjharding
    This is the most helpful king pawn endgame video. I'd have gone wrong a couple of times. I just need to try to remember these principles
  • @cellarrat4178
    I watch a lot of your videos. You are the first ive seen explain this concept. Thanks
  • For a first time I got all the right moves before you said them, in split second, that's a good feeling ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank you for your lessons, keep them comming!

    Congratulations Nelson!! The way you are teaching us is very good. I would play 9. Kg7 couse I think it's wining move too, but with 9. c4 I see one new motive for me. The triangle rule I knew it like " The square" from Jesus De La Villa book, but the way you present it's easier and more practical. Congratulations and thank you
