Can you figure out whether the following positions are winning for the stronger side or if there is enough for the defender to save a draw?
Does Ivan Saric (Black) have enough of an advantage with his extra pawn? It turns out he does. In the game, imprecisions by both players led to the Croatian GM’s win, but only after Brandon Clarke missed a couple of chances to keep the balance.
Knight endgames require precise calculation. Tornike Sanikidze (White) demonstrated that he had enough time to save the draw here against Aleksandar Indjic’s extra pawn. A knight on the rim is not always dim!
Material is even, but it is looking more difficult for Black to create a passed pawn on the kingside, where he has the majority. An imprecise move in this position by Atarbek Eren (Black) cost him the game against Daniele Vocaturo.
These are only three of the seven instructive endgame positions which you can study and enjoy in our dynamic replayer below!
