In this 37-minute video, IM Thomas Engqvist discusses how to train chess endgames effectively, drawing major inspiration from Yury Averbakh (1922–2022) and Mikhail Botvinnik, two of the most influential thinkers in endgame study and long-term chess development.
The video goes beyond pure technique and focuses on how to approach endgame training. It covers how to work with chess books, how to relate to practical endgames such as rook endings and queen endings, and how to balance modern tablebases with human methods, intuition, and understanding.
The content is aimed at:
beginners
club players
tournament players
advanced players
A central theme is how to choose the best training structure depending on playing strength, ambitions, and available time.
Whether you are new to endgame study or looking to deepen your understanding at a higher level, this video offers both practical advice and a classical perspective rooted in the traditions of Averbakh and Botvinnik.
