Knight vs Pawn

Course 58 episodes
(1 hour 13 min)
Creators GM Gabuzyan Hovhannes

This course will teach you the most important positions and ideas that you should apply in endgames featuring a knight and pawns.

Due to the knight’s unique movement knight and pawn endgames can be tricky to master. However, because we only cover the most critical positions that you need to know we’ve managed to condense the material into a few short sections. 

Each position or idea should only take around 2 minutes to learn and you’re free to skip any section you’re already comfortable with...

During the course you’ll see many examples of how to win or hold a draw in endgames with different combinations of a knight and pawns.

You’ll see the differences between having a knight vs separated, connected, and corner pawns. And you’ll learn new techniques and ideas such as how to checkmate and how to stop pawns advancing using your knight.

Below are some of the positions from the course:

Good course that explained the subject well. I would have liked a few more things to help certain motifs stick in the memory. For instance, the knight barrier to a draw against king and pawn is done well, but for me the course could have used something like the 'knight circuit' definition that 100 Endgames You Must Know used to help memory and recall in that and a few other parts.
