The tutor introduces a resource to help with endgame play.

Some tough games, I’ve won by queening a pawn. (I mainly play the computer, and I lose more often than I win.) Towards the end of a long, tiring game, knowing how to queen a pawn can really help.

A very useful resource that can teach you just how to queen a pawn is by chessvideos on YouTube. It’s less than five minutes long. My understanding of it is to keep your king ahead of your pawn; you’re best to have one or two squares between them. The key is to get your king to one of the the six squares on ranks 7 or 8, left, directly ahead, or right of your pawn.

I highly recommend the video. I’ve used its tips myself, enabling me to queen the pawn with much less effort.
