Richerby,

It is curious that endgames are played so poorly. I rank in the top 4.5% of US tournament chess players. There are less than 2200 active chess players in the us better than me. However I am making mistakes with posiotions that have only 3 pawns. I heave never progressed passed the first chapter (pawns) of a serious endgame manual. Yet my peers think I am good at endgames. I am convinced that studying endgames is the next step in my chess improvement.
