And I'm no just talking about Lucida positions, minority attacks, rook and pawn, and the like.
I am talking about final transitional strategies. Like when you have 7 or 8 pieces each on the board, and you're trying to force your way into a simple endgame like the ones above. These extra pieces on the board often make it easy to blunder away an advantage or something you can trade down into a won endgame.
So aside from learning basic principles such as opposition and triangulation and the like, where does one learn the more advanced themes of the broader endgame strategy? Like say when you have multiple rooks on the board, or rook and a piece, pawns sometimes imbalanced, etc. How does one determine where pieces need to be forced off the board and so forth? This is, I think, the most challenging aspect of chess overall.
Thanks!
