Most of the endgames non masters end up in are easy for non masters. They are so lopsided that an expert (expert is one class below master and one class above class A) could win easily against a master or if the expert has the weaker side the expert would surely lose against a class A player. Most expets dont have lots of experiance with close endings like the ones I have been posting in chess article forum. When experts encounter an ending that requires skill the play very slowly becuase they are unfamiliar with the proper technique. Otherwise they move quickly in the endgame. These comments are for an over the board setting. In correspondence chess most of the time between moves the players are away from the game. If your opponent spends an hour on a move or moves immediately is not important if he spent 3 days between visiting this website.

I did not intend to confuse anyone. It has been said that experts suffer from endgame disease. The implication is that experts often fail to get the best possible result in a close endgame. The reason is endgame skill was not so importantant in their prior experiance. In thier experiance the middlegame is almost always decisive.

This issue is important to me becuase I would like to become a master. It is unlikely I can becomea master without improving my endgame ability. I realize that Master varies from place to place. For me a master is someone who has achieved a USCF rating of 2200.

There is no beginning and there is no ending, some days there is not even a middle.

Now that we a full understanding of that, here is what Aron Nimzowitsch has to say, "...the endgame is...that part of the game in which the advantages created in the middlegame should be systematically realized...In order to know, and to be able to appreciate what is happening in the endgame, one must be acquainted with the elements out of which it is compounded, for the endgame has it elements just as much as does the middlegame." My System 21st Century Edition page 57.

He continues by pointing them out. passed pawns, centralization,aggressive rook position, the rallying of all isolated detachments, the combined advance and the materialization of files.

As you can see there really is no beginning its a realization of those elements out of which advantages were created and then systematically realized.
