Shouldering: using your king to body-block the opponent's king in K+P endgames. A simple concept that wins countless games.

Triangulation is the art of wasting a tempo with your king to transfer the move to your opponent, gaining the opposition and winning the endgame.

An outside passed pawn wins endgames by acting as a decoy, it forces the opponent's king to chase it while your king invades on the other side.

King and pawn endgames are the foundation of all chess endings. Master opposition, key squares, triangulation, and shouldering to never lose a won K+P endgame.
