Excellent! You have showed me something that I have never really thought about but when presented with that scenario I would have eventually figured out by thinking it out. The nice thing about seeing it as you presented it is I do not have to think about it now. I now know what to do without thinking about it. Like riding a bike. Tanx!☺

@eveningbuzz aw shucks! my goal is to teach you how to think, not how not to think! i'm a failure!

LOL. Ah come on, you know what I mean. Second nature. Leaves me time to think further ahead in the game. Nice response, tho. Keep up the good work. Really enjoy your work and I am learning a lot. Tanx.

You should make videos on every single endgame!

@Mushyrulez we will try to cover a lot of the most common ones.

Thanks for the insight! I've been playing chess for fun for years but videos like these really help me to pull it all together.
