I agree: Let the opponent earn the win instead of resigning. I have won several games since typically the opponent with a strong position may get careless thinking the game is already won. There is so much to learn in the endgames.
Great video! For those who want hundreds of free chess lectures on any aspect, please check out my channel. I finished =17th in the British chess championships
You played your side really well. There aren't any improvements I could see on your game. Congratulations with the victory! Also do you have a chess rating? I'm guessing you're somewhere in the range of Class B to expert.
I'd argue that, after the queen exchange, white's passed d pawn, potential for connected passed pawns with the exchange of the c pawns, black's distance from the queen side, and black's lack of a passed pawn all make up for the 1 pawn down. That's just me though.
Hey, I would just like to say that I am watching this video and I have paused it on the second move where black plays h6 to h5. I just wanted to say that I am looking at this now and if it were me playing I would have played King g3 to f4, attacking 2 pawns at the same time and winning the e4 pawn.
I'm not saying this because I believe it to be a better move, I am just starting to really get into chess and I must say my end game knowledge is diabolical. Please say why is this not a good move?
I had similar thoughts when I first saw it but then I realized g5+ by black was a killer blow. If white takes the g5 pawn black pushes either e3 or g3, then once whites pawn takes he pushes the other pawn to promotion. If white decides to take on e4 blacks h pawn runs down the board unopposed and white can't make it back in time due to the pawn on g4. Also blacks king just runs in front of the d pawn if white starts to push it so that doesn't help.
I totally agree. Fight it out till the end. Ecspecially when playing amateur games. You'll be amazed by how many people have little to no endgame knowledge. And they'll throw away winning positions because of it.
As a noobie starting out I'm looking at many analysis vids and I found this to be one of the clearest and best to understand. I'll definitely be subscribing - thanks!!!
i think that at 2:33 you should have played king to f4, which would have allowed you to capture black's e4 pawn. that would not only neutralize black's material advantage but also put you in a much better position since you have the same material except he has doubled pawns on the g file and you have an overwhelming 4-2 pawn advantage on the left side of the board.
This is a very strange video of yours because it's very lame compared to the others: the black player is obviously not aware of the protected passed pawn idea, trying to do something awkward on the queenside. I think that the queen trade was completely unfavourable to black, because after it I completely favour white, I don't see why you think that black is any better.
Out of 438 blitz games, I won 290 and 17 draws of them. Out of 275 bullet games, I won 260 of them. And out of 67 standard games I won 20,and drew 10 times.
I've also just discovered your videos. You are a marvelous teacher. Thanks for not only your insight but your passion and positive spirit. Exceptional in an age of web cynicism.
In the whole game when you had the 3 pawns in a nice possition on the a,b and c file, you could moved them all one step forward. You move around with your king unnecessary, you just repeat some moves. It looks to me a better position because your 1 step closer to queening your pawn, and the opponnents pawn wont move 2 squares, i think, so what stopped you? Im sure you have a good reason, but i cant find it ;)
@Robocop131313 How stupid of me, if the king will be in range of the c-pawn, he can easily take it after the b-pawn moves! Didnt see the most easy way!
just asking is there such a move with pawns called "capture while passing" in french its when the pawn is a space in front of another pawn on the 7th or 2nd row then captures the pawn as it advances to the 4th or 5th row?
Ive only recently found your videos and I have to say, I think theyre great. I really enjoy learning from them & will soon be checking out your website. Your efforts are really appreciated.

@StratChess I'd learn the openings lol. If you don't have a good start you're probably not going to make the middle game and definitely not going to make the endgame ;)
I recommend learning all at the same time. A lot of grandmasters recommend studying all aspects of the game in certain amounts. Check my website for a summary of what I was able to find about this question right on the main page. Thanks for checking out the vid!
you're right about learning all at the same time. but i think in the beginning we should focus on endgame. rather than learning openings, which is just memorisation, focus on learning principles. a lot of the time, your endgame considerations must affect your opening and middlegame play (pawn structure considerations especially). but that's just me.
i always offer draw at endgame and if he says no i usually loses. Hope your videos have helped me. I want the program that helped u created this chess video. where u get it? or secret?
Yes that would look good at first sight considering your opponent is foolish enough 2 take either A or B pawn but if he plays Kc6 ur lost .....ur best move would be a5 and he would play a6 and it's a draw there is nothing neither player can do without losing
I completely agreed with you, it is not a wise decision to resign only because your a little behind mateial than your opponent, if the opponent makes 1 small mistake it can turn everything.
Thnx for the video; im a firm beleiver in playing until the end, and making your oponent earn the win. I thought I was the only one out here that beleived that
I'm big about endgames myself. Even if there are still materials on the board, like bishops and horses, I try to position my king so that I'm closer to either my pawns or the opponents which ever have the advantage, and thats when I start to trade in pieces preparing for the endgame!
I'm the exact same way, and so are a majority of the (admittedly very few) people I've played. As a result, I lost two games I really really should not have, but even better with only a king left against a small army I managed to force a stalemate against a person I have no recollection of ever beating.
Good call Jrobi. I think lower ranked players should definitely play on when the material difference is low, like under a piece. Mistakes happen all the time.
i feel like after black pushes to h5, Kf4 would be a very solid move instead of c4 since he can't play ...h4 to try to promote the pawn (Kxg4) and his King is simply too far back to defend all of his pawns on the Kingside. After you get rid of a few pawns on his Kingside, then you can crush his queenside pawns with your queenside majority.
Totally agree - it's worth playing it out just to see how things go and try to plan both sides. And you never know ... people do make mistakes and a losing position can suddenly become a winning one.
i have a question when you moved your pawn to a3 why didnt you move your king to h4 then you could of had the advantage of delaying his pawn to promotion then next tun if he tried to go king to king to c4 you could push the pawn up to protect it then he would have a disadvantage
I wanted the pawn to protect B4 from the enemy pawn on A7. The king could never take the pawn on B4 anyway, but I wanted to make sure that there was always a pawn protecting from the enemy A pawn capture. H4 wouldn't accomplish this as after G6 or G5 my king would have to go back to G3 anyway. Thanks for checking out the vid!
I'm curious about the computer companion you are using for analysis. At 3:43 you comment that there are "really no variations" between your play and your computer analysis. However, Ruffian regards your 4.c5 as a serious error, losing at least one point in analysis, and your move immediately after the comment, 7.a3, as even worse. I don't mean to get into an analysis war, but I am curious about the program that regarded the 4.c5 move as best, or at least equal, play at that point. Thanks!
nice vid jrobi! for advice fro beginers who dont know wining positions and when u arre about to lose, never resign! im an expirenced player, and ive only resigned once, but that was when my opponent had queen rook and bishop vs 2 rooks... i was traped and would lose a rook, so i resigned... Always force your opponent to earn the win! finally... if it is queen and king vs king, keep playing! i did that and my opponent stalemated me!
Thanks for posting your experience SC. I have stalemated opponents in that position as well, although I don't tend to face it much anymore. But when I first started out I had a number of stalemate saves, which is always a welcome thing when crushed in material count. =)
You make a really good point in this video. Losing is just as good, if not even better, in terms of learning when playing the game. Some of my best games have involved losing to some very creative players.
This game shows the importance of studying the fundamentals of king pawn endgames, and thematic pawn sacrifices to force a win. With the right pawn push black would have won easily. However, jrobi was on familiar ground, and his opponent clearly was not. Nice video!
I Love this Video and also I checked out your Channel. Very interesting! If you need any help getting this Video and your Channel exposed to where it is on top in all the searches. I found this site called tubeviews.(net) that has took my breath away. I'm working on my 4th Channel now, this one I just made. My Videos are getting so many hits now. Check it out and keep in touch.
i know a lot of people hate me because i never resign when playing... even if i'm in a completely dead position... reason being i don't want to hand them the game in a silver platter...
I tend to be similar when playing. I only resign when my position is dead (in other words nothing could be done and the winning moves from my opponent are obvious). Any endgame practice that I can get versus real people is worth it in my opinion, even if I just end up predicting their moves towards victory.
Instead of moving your King to g4, I think you should have advanced your Pawn to a4 in order to prevent Black's King from approaching your Pawn structure or aiding his Pawn. Anyways, you played great!
Very nice video ! But I think your position wasn't that lost from the beginning, since instead of playing c4 after the trade of queens, you should have played Kf4. Blacks can't defend e4, and his h5 pawn isn't going anywhere cause your king will always be in the square. With no e4 pawn anymore, there is no e & h pawns marching up risk afterwards.
And on the other hand, there is no hurry for you to march your c & d pawns, since a king alone can't stop 2 linked pawns.
No, he would have had to play Kg3 first and then Kf4. But in the meantime black could have played h5, so that white could never reach the e-pawn without allowing black's h-pawn to march trough.
No man. INSTEAD of c4, play Kf4, threatenning to capture e4. Black can NOT push h4 right away, or else white simply takes on g4.
Actually, e4 can't be taken because of g5!, which would restrain the king out of the defensive square. But if the king remains on f4, it assumes a good defensive position about this e&h simultaneous push.
OK, maybe I wasn't precise. If he plays Kf4 insted of c4 black can play g5+ anyway. Now if white captures on e4 there's h4 and the pawn is unstoppable. If white captures on g5, black can advance either the e or the g pawn and one of them will advance.. That leaves only the retreat Kg3 with white still having a lost position.
Jrobi: Can u clarify ur statement on 10:42 of the game that placing a check by ur Qb7 would have been a drawn position. I dont see how ur opponent could have drawn this game. I greatly appreciate what you do for Chess game lovers. Great vid again and thanks for encouraging us to play end games till the nail biting finish as this one. Excellent.
It's a lengthy list of moves but basically with careful play from black there will be one queen left on both side and a king, so it will be drawn unless someone makes a big mistake. Thanks for checking out the vid!
You made a mistake when you assumed you wouldn't be in check when black promoted. He could've promoted to a knight. Not sure if it would've helped in the long run, but it was an option. Also black should've played g3 at 4:35 a move earlier than you suggested. And what about a4+ at 7:00?
My opponent definitely could have tried promoting with a knight, but it wouldn't have helped in the position. A4+ unfortunately leads to the same options of either losing the queen right away or the G pawn with check (providing white plays the best move Qf5+).
YEAH, i picked the same line at g3 i fill like a total genius for being able to see that! great videos keep'em coming. your videos have really helped my game so thanks.
Great video as usual, it was a very interesting watch. My guess when you suggested to pause, was to bring the a5 pawn down right away, and slowly take the pawns out while not letting one run away. Though, that seems impossible...so the answer was definitely where you directed. I wouldn't have seen it at all, thanks for the show ^_^.
recently in 1 of my games at my league I was ahead in position, first time playing budapest ^_^ but I made a blunder and it resulted in me losing a rook for free, however I stuck through and tried to make a comeback, however I was unsuccessful and eventually lost, but this video is very motivating to any chess player who regrets resigning. Many mistakes can be made in the endgame and those who fail to study engame will not win as many games and have as much fun in chess. Thx
Yeah trying to take the pawn there isn't a good move for a number of reasons. My opponent could play an immediate G5 and if I take the E pawn is devastating. If I try to retreat, then the black king activates before the C4 push taking away my options to create the formation on the queen side that was one of my only good options in the position.
I agree: Let the opponent earn the win instead of resigning. I have won several games since typically the opponent with a strong position may get careless thinking the game is already won. There is so much to learn in the endgames.

Hi jrobi,
in 11:09 your opponent made his final mistake while taking your queen on g3. Ke2 is a draw.
Ke2, Qxe3+ Kxe3, b5 Kf3, b6 g4+, Kh4 g3, b7 g2, b8Q g1Q
Tophie1984 2 years ago
I think you're right. I considered 1. ... Ke2 2. Kg4, but that's still a draw with 2. ... Qe4+ 3. Kh5 Qxb4 4. Kxg5 1/2-1/2.
Alternatively, 1. Ke2 2. Kg2 or h2 Qd2+ 3. Kany Qxb4 4. Qxg5 1/2-1/2.
White's only other legal moves are Qf3 which obviously loses immediately and the queen trade which you described.

I Love this Video and also I checked out your Channel. Very interesting! If you need any help getting this Video and your Channel exposed to where it is on top in all the searches. I found this site called tubeviews.(net) that has took my breath away. I'm working on my 4th Channel now, this one I just made. My Videos are getting so many hits now. Check it out and keep in touch.
Very Lovely!

i know a lot of people hate me because i never resign when playing... even if i'm in a completely dead position... reason being i don't want to hand them the game in a silver platter...
luisfranciscanora 2 years ago
I tend to be similar when playing. I only resign when my position is dead (in other words nothing could be done and the winning moves from my opponent are obvious). Any endgame practice that I can get versus real people is worth it in my opinion, even if I just end up predicting their moves towards victory.

well the king can simply come back to c6 and J would have weaken his pawn structure and waste a move because he can't march any pawn.

At the start of the video, when your opponent moved his Queen to g4, what would be different if he moved his queen to g5 instead?
Awesome videos btw. =)

Instead of moving your King to g4, I think you should have advanced your Pawn to a4 in order to prevent Black's King from approaching your Pawn structure or aiding his Pawn. Anyways, you played great!

Very nice video ! But I think your position wasn't that lost from the beginning, since instead of playing c4 after the trade of queens, you should have played Kf4. Blacks can't defend e4, and his h5 pawn isn't going anywhere cause your king will always be in the square. With no e4 pawn anymore, there is no e & h pawns marching up risk afterwards.
And on the other hand, there is no hurry for you to march your c & d pawns, since a king alone can't stop 2 linked pawns.
Ganker78 2 years ago
No, he would have had to play Kg3 first and then Kf4. But in the meantime black could have played h5, so that white could never reach the e-pawn without allowing black's h-pawn to march trough.
foodope 2 years ago
No man. INSTEAD of c4, play Kf4, threatenning to capture e4. Black can NOT push h4 right away, or else white simply takes on g4.
Actually, e4 can't be taken because of g5!, which would restrain the king out of the defensive square. But if the king remains on f4, it assumes a good defensive position about this e&h simultaneous push.
Ganker78 2 years ago
OK, maybe I wasn't precise. If he plays Kf4 insted of c4 black can play g5+ anyway. Now if white captures on e4 there's h4 and the pawn is unstoppable. If white captures on g5, black can advance either the e or the g pawn and one of them will advance.. That leaves only the retreat Kg3 with white still having a lost position.

Jrobi: Can u clarify ur statement on 10:42 of the game that placing a check by ur Qb7 would have been a drawn position. I dont see how ur opponent could have drawn this game. I greatly appreciate what you do for Chess game lovers. Great vid again and thanks for encouraging us to play end games till the nail biting finish as this one. Excellent.
mikramuddin 2 years ago
It's a lengthy list of moves but basically with careful play from black there will be one queen left on both side and a king, so it will be drawn unless someone makes a big mistake. Thanks for checking out the vid!

You made a mistake when you assumed you wouldn't be in check when black promoted. He could've promoted to a knight. Not sure if it would've helped in the long run, but it was an option. Also black should've played g3 at 4:35 a move earlier than you suggested. And what about a4+ at 7:00?
MacGyverMagic 2 years ago
My opponent definitely could have tried promoting with a knight, but it wouldn't have helped in the position. A4+ unfortunately leads to the same options of either losing the queen right away or the G pawn with check (providing white plays the best move Qf5+).

Great video as usual, it was a very interesting watch. My guess when you suggested to pause, was to bring the a5 pawn down right away, and slowly take the pawns out while not letting one run away. Though, that seems impossible...so the answer was definitely where you directed. I wouldn't have seen it at all, thanks for the show ^_^.

Awesome job Jrobi,
recently in 1 of my games at my league I was ahead in position, first time playing budapest ^_^ but I made a blunder and it resulted in me losing a rook for free, however I stuck through and tried to make a comeback, however I was unsuccessful and eventually lost, but this video is very motivating to any chess player who regrets resigning. Many mistakes can be made in the endgame and those who fail to study engame will not win as many games and have as much fun in chess. Thx

shouldnt you have moved your king to F4 at 2:35 instead of pawn to c4?
Shankzilla87 2 years ago
Black's H pawn and easily queen, if the white king captures the E pawn.
chessmastor 2 years ago
Yeah trying to take the pawn there isn't a good move for a number of reasons. My opponent could play an immediate G5 and if I take the E pawn is devastating. If I try to retreat, then the black king activates before the C4 push taking away my options to create the formation on the queen side that was one of my only good options in the position.
