Endgames Revisited




After "Jeromezzzzzzzzzz... Gambit" I decided to review earlier blog posts and pull together a number of Jerome Gambit endgames, for those who want to practice (or laugh).

The endgame? "It's Just Really That Important". Even if you're convinced that "Nothing Happened".

There's a fun contest that contains both the "Bishops of Opposite Colors" and the "Wrong Bishop + Rook Pawn": "All's Not Well That Ends Not Well."

There are a couple of games aptly titled "With The Pawns, Against the Bishop" (although the second game is titled "Really? Really.")

There's a "down the exchange but up the pawns" game in "More Than Seen At First Glance (Part 1)" and a regular Opposite Colored Bishops contest in "More Than Seen At First Glance (Part 2)".

I'll finish with an escape into an Opposite Colored Bishops endgame in "Win, Lose, Draw".
