In this and the next video, I offer a set of exercises aimed at developing your ability to thrive in Knight vs. Pawn endgames [i.e. one side has a knight and/or pawn(s), the other side has only pawn(s)] with an eye toward deepening your understanding of the key concepts outlined in the introductory knight vs. pawns video (link below). We thoroughly examine eight highly instructive and entertaining real-life positions, each of which requires precise calculation and is aimed at improving your ability to apply and mesh the concepts that undergird these highly unbalanced and tactical endgames. Note that in this video, we “take the side” of the pawns, whereas in the next, you will be solving from the side that has the knight.
