Endgames Curriculum

"Play the opening like a book, the middle game like a magician, and the endgame like a machine." - Rudolf Spielmann

"In order to improve your game, you must study the endgame before everything else, for whereas the endings can be studied and mastered by themselves, the middle game and the opening must be studied in relation to the endgame." - José Raúl Capablanca

These are the skills you can learn and practice with the Endgames course.
This is a new course. Follow along while the course is being developed. We are working on adding more puzzles, levels, and skills.
