Adding rooks or queens is also interesting. Thanks. I do not have that book but agree that knight vs bishop is very instructive (the Gligoric - Trifunovic game is a good example in which the Knight is actually stronger). I may make a few to illustrate the different quality of the K and B in different situations - maybe Fischers win with Bishop against Knight against Spassky. regards, Larsen_fan

Dont know about the quality of this book, but I thought maybe these (classic) endgames could be a good place to start for the kids...? GG I already have another Giddins endgame book (101 endgame tips - golden nuggets of endgame wisdom) and have used it for inspiration which may be the reason some games from the other book occur. I think you are right some of the Classic endgames is a good place to start for the kids. If you have some specific games in mind and a few Words why you find them fascinating, I will appreciate it. regards, Larsen_fan

Even Botvinnik called Fischer's idea, to obtain five passed pawns by allowing his own rook to be placed in a prison camp of two squares in Siberia, something completely unheard-of. It's amazing to watch Fischer's intuitive assessment of this entirely unknown and bizarre scenario be borne out. Truley a fascinating endgame. I will use it, thanks. Many learning points: Opposite coloured bishops with rooks, pawn race / value of passed pawns, uneven material, and unconventional and concrete thinking in the endgame. regards, Larsen_fan

	Maybe Tomashevsky's win the other day in a knight endgame with 4 vs 3 pawns? Was is a draw with best play, or a win? No matter what, very nicely played I think.

	Hi Im doing a serie of strategic endgames on youtube for kids (in danish). So fare I have made 11 (app 5 - 20 min each). No real structure in how I select. Just endgames with instructive value and "x-factor". Please help with a little inspiration - What are your favorite strategical endgames? And why do you find them fascinating? so fare i have made vids of: Cohn - Rubinstein 1909 (yep, that pawn endgame) Capa - Tartakower 1924 (yep that rook endgame) Tal - Lisitin 1956 Tartakower - French 1933 Zenyuk - Foisor (dont remember year) Marshall - Lasker 1907 Larsen - Penrose 1969 Gligoric - Trifunovic 1948 Thomas - Tartakower 1945 Polgar - Pantsulaia 2013 Fressinet - Grandelius 2015 regards, Larsen_fan
