Outflanking: an endgame course

When the kings block each other, look for a safe route around the defender and toward your pawn’s useful squares.

4 lessons, each followed by its own puzzle drill, then 10 themed puzzle packs.

• Step Off the Line — Compare a sideways king move with the opponent’s replies.
• Break Through — Use the square the defending king must concede.
• Move Past the Defending King — Take the route the opposing king leaves available.
• Support the Pawn with Your King — Bring the king ahead to support the pawn’s advance.
