25 Must Know Endings
The following are must know endings that you really should understand and get to grips with. You need to understand these in great detail. This will lead to more wins, when winning, and more draws when losing (assuming your opponent does not know the ending well, of course). We won’t document all the endings in one go, we will slowly add more over time.
These endings are available in a Lichess Study for Lancashire Chess Junior players. You need to be a member of Lichess and also a member of the Lancashire Juniors Team.
