@danheisman @Kabadayichess Any good book recommendations for these kind of problems? 😉

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@NealBruceBC Could you clarify what you mean about the French and the Alapin? Thank you.

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@Lona_Chess @chesscoachandra Sir, you are killing it with the last few episodes. Thank you.

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@Kabadayichess Hello, love your work. Thank you for the great insights but I have noticed that I learn better with book and board without a computer. Did you ever consider releasing your courses as a book? Kind regards.

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@marepant @NealBruceBC Basically yes. Usually there are still more pieces and pawns on the board. Something a tablebase cant give you the concreet result for. You can check out a preview on the new in chess website. Have fun!

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@marepant @NealBruceBC The first one focusses purely on the theoretical endgame which can be studied like algorithms. This one is more about the strategic endgame preceding the theoretical which can be studied more practically.

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@NealBruceBC @NewInChess Best of luck with your endgame journey. Although I love endgames I can’t seem to get into the Shereshevsky book but i love 101 endgames tips by Steve Giddins. Feels like the Simple Chess of endgame strategy. Might be interesting to you. Looking forward to following along!

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@GMAlexColovic @chessable Any updates on releasing them in book format? I am rarely able to finish a chessable course but find it much easier to sit down and really work with a book. Anyway, love the work you are putting out.

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@DoctorScull love it. I was wondering, between endgame strategy & capablanca's endings which one would you advice to read first? I read capa first but the other way around seems like better advice. thank you for all your work!

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@pvlummen @RookieRedhead Hello, I'm from Belgium too. which part if I may ask?

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@fins0905 Sometimes I beat myself up en feel like I'll never learn. Thank you for sharing this. It shows you care about people learning and feeling we are on a journey together.

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@chess_dojo This was greatly enjoyable. Thank you.

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@DoctorScull @Bennyficial1 I believe that all strategy books that focus on a lot of short examples will serve this purpose. e.g. mastering chess straregy by Hellsten

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@GMAlexColovic @chessable Ever a chance of a book version?

@DoctorScull Love it. Check out 'My lessons with a grandmaster' by Gulko & Sneed. It is in a similar vain, I think you might like it.

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@NealBruceBC @Bennyficial1 looking forward to it! Q: do you prefer game collections from different players annotated by the author like logical chess or a game collection solely of one player with the games annotated by himself like Alekhine's best games?

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@TheOnoZone @DfoWrites strongly agree with your Shereshevsky statement. Especially after tackling Hellsten. though might I suggest Capablanca's best endings by Chernev? Currently enjoying it a lot. Best of luck with your further development!

[Bram Kellens @KellensBram]

@unseenchesspod @JenShahade Ow right thanks for pointing that out. in that cas I would start with Rh4. if d4 then Kf7.
