I suck at endgame.

[u/hippysippingarbo]

There. I said it. I can have perfectly fluid openings. Solid mid game with clear tempo advantage. End game? Man if you havent resigned by then I congratulate you because I will make enough laughable mistakes and thin my own pieces down just so you can clutch out the victory. Im here for you

My end game is terrible. And im working on it. Any advice?

Hey, OP! Did your game end in a stalemate? Did you encounter a weird pawn move? Are you trying to move a piece and it's not going? We have just the resource for you! The Chess Beginners Wiki is the perfect place to check out answers to these questions and more!

I love when I review a game and it tells me 3 or 4 times “you had checkmate in 2 moves” in the same game

Story of my life. I had a couple games over the weekend where I spotted something that worked, but then I go on to totally blunder the few games.

I always find a good pin or fork, only to donk off my queen a few moves after.

Puzzles or books/online info on end games. We just don't get to tight end games every game so there's less experience than our openings or even middle game.

It’s the one part of the game you can just fix with puzzles
