About this course

Your first step in endgame technique: finish games when you are up a queen, two rooks, or a rook against a lone king. This free lesson teaches the staircase mate, the queen’s shrinking cage, and the rook-on-the-seventh method—clear patterns you can drill until they are automatic.

What you'll learn
