Understanding Passed Pawns | Principles of Chess Endgames | GM Naroditsky

huhu i want to know how a passed pawn works.. the explaination is pointless, the thing is i forgot how the passed pawn were apply

This is an amazing lesson. Thanks for sharing it!

Oh wow, i just started this. After the instructions i was actually able to recognize what to do in a few of the examples. And im actually so bad at endgames. I will play out all of the examples in the next days and then move on to your other videos. Thank you for this super educational content. I learned more than i did in a long while.

Daniel after only watching this video, I started solving some pawn endgame puzzles and I was SO MUCH better. Thank you for this content! Protect Daniel at all cost.

This is so far the best content I've watched on pawn endgames.

very good

Incredible. Thank you for this.

I am watching this video series to prepare for my first chess tournament on the weekend. Thanks for the great instructional value and lessons!

ur the best for doing this

These videos are amazing. Thank you so much!

very good material, with basic knowledge in basic pawn endgames thes helps a lot

Daniel You are great teacher! Please don't change it :)

You probably learned of the "Deep Freeze" phrase from the book over your shoulder - Silman's Complete Endgame course. He uses it there, and this is the first time I've heard it elsewhere.

I didn't see someone else mention that it in a quick scroll through the comments but there's over 800 now, so maybe it's here and I missed it.

"Obviously, the king can't run to both directions at the same time."

Quantum chess: "Everything is possible."

I am going to vote for longer videos. Even if it is a nine hour video. But that's just one vote.

Great vid thanks!

Danya is single handedly building serious chess community who is interested in real learning.

I can't thank him enough. 🙏

You know that thing you knew way back and it turned out to be completely wrong but it's not important enough to make the conscious effort of changing it?

I'll keep calling them FAST pawns.

Please please please CREATE A PLAYLIST in order.

I just hit 2000 online before starting this series. Even still this has been one of the most educational publications I have seen, this has definitely improved my play.

Its pronounced Tigran Pe-trosz-YAN not Petro-zhi-an :]

Thanks!

Big respect, Daniel! В том же духе!

Awesome, awesome, awesome content! The whole channel, not just this video

Thankyou Danya for thid amazing free illustration

You somehow said that it takes a pawn majority to create a passed pawn, but it's also possible to create a passer when you have 3 vs 3 pawns, and if your own pawns are already advanced to the 5th rank, this wins you the game. So making passed pawns means to eliminate or pass by those pawns that prevent your own pawn from being passed, even if this means creating a passed pawn for your opponent.

In order to be able to determine whether pawns that can be taken en passant are passed (I propose that they shouldn't be), I propose the following definition of a passed pawn: Consider a pawn and remove every piece from the board, except those pawns that are equally or further advanced and on the same or an adjacent file. If the given pawn may move forward until the edge of the board, without (1) being taken by the opposing side on any subsequent move or (2) being blockaded by any pawn (including a pawn of the same side) on any subsequent move, it is passed. Otherwise, it is not passed.

This definition almost captures the notion that a passed pawn has "passed" all dangers that emanate from any other pawns; a pawn could still become "unpassed" if an enemy pawn captures a pawn on a neighbouring file and thus moves towards it. Come to think of it, perhaps the definition should take this into account too. Perhaps this notion also merits a new term.

Thank you
