A few Youtube videos about endgame studies

Here are a few Youtube videos with lectures of endgame studies. The V. Akobian lectures are aimed at beginners of the game, each around 55 minutes long. Those who will usually read the blog can skip them.

 The other two lectures are more about artistic endgames, where of course Timman stands out as a prolific composer himself. The Jan Timman lecture is around 1:30 hours long. Jen Shahade (pronounced Shuh-uh-dee, not Shuh-hate, as can be seen in her second video) teaches for around 35 minutes each. Enjoy!

(Thanks to Politiken Cup and the St. Louis Chess Club / Scholastic Center for putting the videos online!)
