If you guys enjoy following live chess action I highly recommend you head over to the PRO Chess League and check that out. This came out of what was formerly the US Chess League, which as many of you know was run by IM Greg Shahade (aka curtains).

They have 48 teams, over 100 grandmasters, and I can personally attest matches are all extremely exciting. I hope you all check it out!

The Endgame Simulator is a great way to practice common endgames, and is one of the most popular features of the site.

Can you checkmate with a rook or two bishops?

If you want something more challenging, try a bishop and knight or rook and two pawns vs rook.

We've got lot of videos about these endings as well, so if you are having trouble, click the links to learn how to do it from our resident expert.
