End Game Dilemma

                          ENDGAME

I generally stay confused about the selection of Moves in the Endgame. It is not clearly my cup of Tea.. But in this game i made many mistake(may be blunder) in the endgame,While the middle game was perfect from me(at least from my point of view).

Now i want to know from any expert In this game from where i started to loose my position and which should be the perfect move?

It was a 30 min Live Standard game so i had time to think

Though i have won the game ,but still not satisfied with it..

thanks

um taking his knight on move 26 would be a start

Mersaphe,

No ,in endgame when i sacrificed a pawn then it was full of trouble for me

Move 32 wasinaccurate!

black blunders with 41...Kc4. Instead he should hv gobbled up all you kingside pawns and he'll queen up first. Which would hv created complications.

So going back, the move u should hv played was Ke4 and he cant keep you out from the g6 square. And it's an easy from there.

Aside from the free knight, you only made pawn moves on the side where you didn't have a majority.

ya ....41.Kc4 Blunder

"It is not my cup of tea"

I know many people who say they're bad at the endgame... years ago.  They are still bad at it.  Take the hint and buy FCE or BCE.  In Basic Chess Endings some of my favorites were Grob-Fine (pawn endgame, with pawns at h3 and g4!  Not hard to figure out what opening was played in that game lol!), that endgame where Botvinnik had a knight and there was a really long pawn chain and he eventually had to sac the knight after winning black's passed pawns and elbowing out the king, Morphy-Revierre (rook endgame) and Morphy-Anderssen (queen endgame) both of which Morphy lost, were really fun to study.  Anderssen had amazing technical accuracy when it came to queen and two pawns vs. queen and could have easily allowed Morphy to draw at any moment but didn't ("Perpetual check always looms in queen endgames")

You should oppose opponent's king in center. Block his pawns. And because you have more pawns you will win because of zugzwang.

Example:

35. Ke4 Kf6 36. h4 g5 (avoiding zugzwang after Kf4) 37. h5 Ke6 38. g4 Kf6 39. f4

As you can see it's easier to attack on wing where you have more pawns.

I have now gott an Endgame book

I don't think an endgame book is necessary for this, just logical play.

I am just saying ...:Di have downloaded it for improvement ,not for this game particularly

;-):-)
