GM Loek van Wely
Simulan

Eight-time Dutch Champion, Loek van Wely is here to teach us not about the Philidor position or how to mate with bishop and knight, but how to approach endgames in general. He draws on his own games ("so you can learn from my mistakes!") to tackle fundamentals such as calculation and decision-making in the endgame, but also gives practical advice on topics that include "exhausting your opponent".
