Re: Dennis M: - Misadventures in the Endgame Part 2 [41:28]
I'm quite surprised this didn't get any comments tbh. I have to say that I like this stuff a lot. It's extremely instructive to watch other people mistakes and watching endgames is almost always instructive as well. Two great things in one video!
I want you to know I'm going to cement this in my mind: pawn-structure and activity. I mean, it's ok to know the rules for rook-endings, like a rook always belongs behind a passed pawn, but it's no use if you don't understand it or if you don't have examples to show it in practise. So yes, I think it's a very very valuable video and I would like to thank you for that.

41 minutes well spent. It's hard to say much because you are out of my league but I learn a great deal just by listening to the ideas.
I always wondered why sometimes I did awesome and rook endings and sometimes terrible. I think this session thoroughly explained the issue.

It's strange that you chose ...Kg5 over ...g5 in the first game since both moves damage your pawn structure anyway. I suspect time trouble was at work here too.
