In endgame positions the opening explorer is replaced by a tablebase explorer. During analysis, click the book icon on the right side of the board to open it. It will show objective evaluations for every move in the position, giving you the best lines. Tablebases are also used in applicable lessons and when practising against the computer.

I have collected over 540 000 fresh tournament chess games (pgn downloads) from the last five years for you (till June 2016) and show you how to build your personal database using a free database software program called SCID vs PC (free). Read more about SCID vs PC

Shane's Chess Information Database (SCID) was originally written by Shane Hudson, but has received strong contribution from others.

With SCID vs PC you can create huge databases without having to buy expensive chess database software like ChessBase Mega Package.

You can also run chess engines and play games against the computer. However in the beginning SCID seems to be complicated to use it, so I will explain some important features that you must know to be able to build your database.

I have to charge you $35 for the pgn downloads, because it has been a lot of work to build the pgn file with over 540 000 chess games, as you can surely imagine.

You can use my pgn database with SCID vs PC and build your personal database with it.

How to use Modern Database?

To open the pgn file Modern Database to see the chess games in it, you need a chess database like SCID vs PC (free, see this page below), or, for example,
ChessBase Mega Package or as alternative the Russian database Chess Assistant PRO with Houdini PRO (DVD) or the interface of a commercially available chess program like Fritz Chess Software that has a database included to which you can add my Modern Database.

Install Chess Database

Download SCID vs PC (free)
Make sure you download the right version. If you have a Windows 64 bit PC, then download the 64 bit version.

SCID vs PC creates an icon on your desktop. See below.

Find, open and install SCID on your computer. It will create an icon on your PC as shown below.

Create NEW Database Name

You have to start from scratch and create a new database. Click on FILE/NEW and give your database a name that you like. (example: ModernDatabase) See image below.

You need this new database to import (copy) your pgn games into it later on. If you would simply open any pgn file instead that contains chess games then you will not be able to delete or edit any games because your pgn files are classified read-only and cannot be changed. This means that you will not be able to change anything in the pgn files you have, but only in the database. For that reason you have to create first a new database that has three different file endings to be able to handle complex editing procedures and it does not have the file ending pgn.

This newly created database structure is necessary to be able to edit or delete any games in the future and import new pgn games into it from other pgn files.

So your newly created database will have no games in it in the very beginning.

Open any of your created Databases

You can create different databases. For example, you might create a database where you will import only old chess games played by old chess masters and call it, OldBase.

To open any Database click on FILE/OPEN. See below.

Copy PGN Games into your Database

To fill your database with chess games go to TOOLS/IMPORT PGN FILES. Then find your PGN files on your computer and import (load) them into your database. See image below.

Loading PGN Files

When PGN files are loaded in the database then you will see this small window below which shows the loading procedure.

When all games of the PGN File are loaded, then this window will show the games that have technical errors in it. See image below.

You should find and delete or repair these games in your database (not in PGN File as this is read-only).

Just lookup the number of a game that has errors in it, then find the number of this game in the database and rightclick mouse and click delete.

This will NOT delete the game immediately, but simply will mark (flag) it. After this, click on COMPACT. This will fix those 'deleted' games in the database for later deletion in the MAINTENANCE Window.

As you can see above there are some games that have errors and should be deleted or repaired.

List of Games

To see your listed games in your database OR in your PGN files click on LIST OF GAMES. Before you do this you have to go to FILE/OPEN and open up a database or a PGN file. See image below.

Target Skill Range: Intermediate (Rated 1400-1799)

Arrive at your final chess destination with the knowledge you need to win!

Tasks:

Knowledge of the endgame improves your decision making in all other facets of chess!

1. Increase your knowledge of fundamental endgames.

Knowing what's around the corner better than your opponent is something that separates the 'Pros' from the 'Average Joes'; it's more important than amateurs realize. Often, an 1800 player mistakes his master opponent's ability to outplay him with the assumption that his opponent calculated fifty moves ahead.

That simply isn't true! What is true is that your opponent's knowledge of endgames made his/her decision making skills in the middlegame (and sometimes even the opening) much better. Learning a select list of must know positions will improve your endgame play and intuition even in positions you haven't seen yet. Master the following positions with this goal in mind. Good luck!

Watch the video lectures below, but most importantly, practice each 'key' position (look for these links on the right side of the video player) against our Computer Opponent before moving on to the next lesson:

  • King and Pawn Endings: Stage 4 by IM Daniel Rensch
  • King and Pawn Endings: Final Stage by

  • Rook Endgames: Beginner to Master, Part 4 by IM Daniel Rensch
  • Rook Endgames: Beginner to Master, Part 5 by IM Daniel Rensch
  • Rook endgames: Beginner to Master, Part 6 by IM Daniel Rensch

Now, practice these drills for review and to further solidify your new knowledge:

2. Improve your endgame technique.

As you progress, you will learn to appreciate the importance of always winning the games you are supposed to win—or never 'letting up' as they say. Ultimately, making sure you convert your advantages is the one thing you can completely control as a chess player. Take these initial steps to improve your endgame technique:

Watch these videos, and once again, practice the 'key' positions against the computer:

  • Principle of Two Weaknesses 2 by IM Daniel Rensch
  • Principle of Two Weaknesses 3 by IM Daniel Rensch

Now read this article: What to Trade in the Endgame by WIM Iryna Zenyuk

Finally, work through these Converting Material in the Endgame Drills exercises. The positions below have been selected to provide a few different types of material conversions. Practice each puzzle until you've won the position, converting a very small advantage some cases, at least two times:

After completing our required list above, you may continue to work through more puzzles of this nature as you like.

3. Complete these endgame lessons.

Complete the lessons below—with some of the courses first appearing in the Endgame Plan for Beginners. Here you will be testing yourself with the positions that were deemed too advanced for players of the 1000-1399 level, as well as learning some entirely new ideas. Work hard and enjoy!

4. Learn to play these practical endgames with Chess.com/drills.

Unlike the positions from Task #2, the following exercises are completely random, with one side normally possessing only a very slight—usually not a material—advantage. Many players of this level simply feel uncomfortable in positions with only a few pieces on the board. Practicing the positions below should help every player gain vital endgame experience. Play each position below at least three times against the computer:

And finally, like Task #2, you're only required to complete our list above, but you are encouraged to practice more 'Practical Endings' of this nature, designed for the 1400-1800 players.

5. Practice these exercises with a partner.

First, read this: Endgame Novelty by WIM Iryna Zenyuk

Then, complete the exercise she suggests—using the two example endgames provided—playing out the positions against a partner of roughly equal strength. If you have a chess coach, or 'in person' friend to do this with, then great! If not, create a new topic in our community forums, and find another ambitious chess enthusiast like yourself!

Then, use our Analysis (Examination) Board to setup the positions, and play them out against your new study partner. After completing the practice session, read the follow up article here:
