Camp 3. Master Endgame Essentials

Description

This camp was designed as a highly practical training experience for ambitious players rated 1400–1900, with the entire focus on the endgame. GM Goloshchapov independently analyzed participants’ games, selecting the most instructive endgame position from each participant’s game. These endgames were then thoroughly discussed during the camp sessions, with special attention given to typical endgame patterns and practical decision-making.

Special attention was given to common endgame mistakes at the 1400–1900 level and to systematic methods for avoiding them through better piece coordination, skilful pawn play, and strategic thinking.

Key topics:

• Exchange of queens: transition from the middlegame to the endgame
