Hello everyone! Today we will be taking a look at a game from the recent European Senior Championship between FM Motuz and GM Pallisse. The game started off with a very balanced opening and a lot of trades. By move 25, the players reached a roughly equal endgame with symmetrical pawn structures. However, this soon led to a very interesting rook endgame where both players made blunders.
Let’s take a look at the game.
Annotations begin on move 70.
I hope you enjoyed the game and learned something new, especially about how important shouldering the king is in endgames like the one we just looked at. If you have any suggestions for future articles, leave a comment below. Have a great day 🙂
