End Game Club?

I have begun a long overdue study of end games, and I am considering creating a new GK club to foster
discussion that might supplement my course of study in books and articles.

I know that there are a fair number of end game threads in the "chess related" forum, and it might be useful to
collect links to those threads in a single location for ease of access. Even better might be to try to find a way to
preserve some of them from scrolling off the board of the chess related forum.

Does anyone have any comments about these ideas? Good, bad, or indifferent?

Nice idea...

There have been quite a few endgame threads begun and after a certain amount of activity, petered out. Some months ago loreta began a Rook Ending thread; about two years back I started a general one called 'Creativity in endgames'. This invited readers to submit any endgame they felt proud of, or had some unusual feature, anything, really - and I was hoping that players at all levels would contribute something.

Maybe there could be a whole new forum: endgames. Or perhaps the 'Chess Related' forum have a number of 'sub-forums': Openings; Middlegame; Endgames; General.
Cheers,
Ion

Thanks Ion

Thanks for the feedback. I saw those two threads and have marked them. Those two in particular contributed to
my inclination to do this because they both demonstrate that there are knowledgeable people who are willing to
share their ideas.

Unfortunately, threads do scroll off the forums and clubs. I have yet to figure out a way to archive them that will
keep them available indefinitely. It would have to be consistent with everyone's copyrights, so I don't think
copying them to an off site location and providing a link would be a good idea. Perhaps if I bump selected threads
once per year it will keep them fresh on this site. I am not sure if that will work.

Done

Bumping the thread seemed to work. I have started the club, and of course I welcome members.

Speaking of clubs...

... How many is one allowed to join?

Q: How many clubs can I join?
As many as you like. Only premium subscribers can be club members though.

I may soon have a R & P ending for you!

Hi everyone!

I may soon have such an ending for you but at the moment the game is still in play. At its conclusion I may well add it to the Rook Ending thread.

Cheers and bye for now.
