Thanks especially to Michael baron who I believe led the group.

Out of curiosity, how is the group going? The group used to study positions from older master games, but I don't know if that is true anymore. Obviously if Michael Baron is a group member, you know you are going to have high quality analysis in the endgame studies, which is often a difficult stage of the game for many players.

Surprisingly, I have often felt at home in the endgame, and would rate my skills there even stronger than the opening and middle games. Perhaps less pieces = greater simplicity, and simple chess is often effective/winning chess.
