This video series explores endgame play by the very best at chess. This video analyzes an endgame that took place between Fischer as white and Cardoso as black in 1958, with Fischer creating a strong endgame position and capitalizing on it through solid positional play.

  • Very well explained. The initial position was basically dead won for white, but it still had to be carried out without error; the vid shows how, clearly, and with excellent commentary.

  • Thanks for checking it out and commenting Cara!

  • why doesnt white play bishop c4 to e6 on his first move winning the knight

  • Because black just takes the bishop with the knight.

see all

  • I have a question, has anyone played against Shredder online? If so, do you know pretty much its rating on easy/medium/hard?

  • 2:50 K d3

  • jrobi i like your previous board and pieces colour theme not this one

    sorry to comment but nonetheless the commentary is great

  • how come at 7:59 rudolpho or whoever didn't take the pawn at G4 instead of retreating. if the pawn at h3 takes the knight then the black pawn on the H file could promote. If the pawn didn't take the knight, it could have taken the pawn at f2 then the h3 one. Why didn't he do that? Was he afraid of promotion from white?

  • what about fischer playing Kb4 insted of Kc4 that makes it very dangerous for black to take the pawn on a6

  • Great job explaining this.........

  • @jrobichess LOL! Yeah I have no idea what that comment was even about? Why don't YOU learn how the pieces move before commenting.

  • at 7:00 , why doesn't black move his knight to E3 and checkmate white? am i missing something? i'm still a minor beginner.

  • MUSIc for my ears

  • i would have rather played Nd3 blocking the rook attack
