Many players feel confident in the opening and middlegame, but the final phase decides everything — and without solid endgame technique, improvement hits a hard ceiling.
Strong endgame skills are what separate intermediate players from 2000+ level competitors. Yet learning endgames on your own can feel overwhelming: scattered YouTube videos, random examples, and inconsistent advice make real progress difficult.
FM Viktor Neustroev has designed a clear, structured 12-week system that teaches you the most important endgame principles — step by step, with zero confusion. You’ll learn the patterns, the logic, and the practical methods that serious players rely on.
By the end of the program, you’ll convert winning positions with confidence, save difficult endings, and finally feel in control of the most important phase of the game.
