In this blog, you will know that we still can draw, even when we are losing 3 pawns! And there are some variations...

🙋‍♂️1. Introduction🙋‍♂️

Hello guys... I am KG, and today I wanna share you a kind of endgame... But... before saying the endgame, I will say: "This is one of my last blogs, so... if you feel sad, don't sad..."

👍You can learn this endgame here!

Alright, let's back... I have discovered a kind of DRAWN ENDGAME. I named it: KG'S DRAW.
So let's DIVE IN the endgame!

🤝2. What is KG's Draw? 🤝

KG's Draw means like this: 👇

"In a Rook VS Rook endgame, you can draw when we are losing 3 pawns."

That means: 2 Pawns V 5 Pawns Draw!

I said so, but if there is no picture, how can I introduce the endgame now?

👀3. Position Analysis👀

So, let's analyze the position I have shown you...

https://lichess.org/study/2BLZ1BdJ/87AdBw3I

👉OK... So this is basically a Rook Endgame...

👉5 VS 2... We are Black...

👉The Rook and 1 Pawn have limited the King's activity! We can easily stop the forced square for White King: e2.

👉The d4-pawn is the passed pawn. After d3, the King is TOTALLY STUCK.

👉White pawns can promote, but the d4-pawn is the dangerous...

So, after analyzing the position, shall I show you how to draw? ❓🤔✅🎯💥

🦜4. How can I draw, KG?🦜

I will show you some tips to draw this new endgame...

🚫STEP 1: STOP/LIMIT the King's Activities🚫

There is a very interesting "cycle"...

REALIZE THE THREAT

.................👇................
STOP THE THREAT
..........👇.......................
CHOOSE A CORRECT MOVE!!
..................👇...........................
REPEAT!! 🔁🔁🔁🔁🔁🔁🔁

So let's practice this... I will give you my study below.

https://lichess.org/study/2BLZ1BdJ/M44TBcj4

What do you know from the study? You can use everything you have to prevent the King's activities, if you cannot prevent, limit the King's activities, as well as it works...

🗼STEP 2: HAVING AN ACTIVE ROOK AND KING🗼

You can use your rook, but it must be active. The rook should stop, or limit the King's activities, as we are losing 3 pawns...
And your King must be supportive. If possible, the King can help the passed pawn promote!

The below study will show you, once again...

♟STEP 3: HELP YOUR PASSED PAWN!♟

(⭐Well... If not perpetual check... The title is not absolutely true, but this is my best... ⭐)
Actually this works ONLY WHEN they don't check us perpetually...

Use Step 2 too!

https://lichess.org/study/2BLZ1BdJ/oWGxLsOX

🥶STEP 4: STOP THE PASSED PAWN!?🥶

(WTF - WHY THIS FRIEND? Don't misunderstand it...)
OK... Sounds strange... but! This is actually essential! 👍👍👍

WAIT! Why stop? Again, it's the study:

https://lichess.org/study/2BLZ1BdJ/Ewweswe7

Depend on situations, you can use the King to "block the passed pawn"...

🏹STEP 5: USING YOUR SKILLS FOR PROMOTION🏹

Oh oh... We will lose the f4-pawn...

If we can't stop them, do our effective plans!

This one is an example:

I explained carefully for you... OK?

👨STEP 6: DEPEND ON YOU!👨

Well... I will give you the position...
