In another interesting session this evening, we looked at the excellent online endgame resource at the chesscafe.com website, written by Karsten Mueller. This series of articles are an exellent inspiration for players seeking to widen their endgame knowledge, and players of all qualities can gain something from these.

We used a recent article as a basis for the session working through the various examples. The Ivanchuk-Anand endgame is very pretty and instructive

It was delightful and I learned a great deal. However the online resource is second best to actual over the board teaching in my opinion.

Yes, the combination of the themes in the endgame is very instructive!

Hi all, this Wednesday I won't be in Melbourne but I have left some positions to be discussed on the noticeboard in the tournament hall at the MCC. The game continuations are in the MCC office.

Have fun

I'm sure it won't be the same without you.

Perhaps Domogoj will be there? No matter, there are 4 positions to discuss which I'm sure you'll all find interesting

Are any of them Capablanca endgames? If not, what about Alekhine - he beat Capablaca you know - and then wouldn't offer him re-match!

All the positions occurred in games played over the past couple of weeks.

Hopefully he will be. I don't think he will though, given that you won't be there and he hasn't been in a while.

**MikesGuns** · 09-23-2009, 11:05 AM

Hi guys I'm probably going to come tonight, if its on. It starts 7:30 right?
