Play an endgame from PGN

[ecrucru]

Hello,

This is a feature request.

When you download a PGN file, you may be interested to play an endgame within that file. The endgame is not explicitly tagged for a game, so the idea is to find the first position where the remaining pieces have a certain pattern (KQk, KRkr...) and whatever the number of pawns.

A new game can be started from that position if it is found.

In case multiple patterns are found, the player may choose in a list the pattern he wants to play (each pattern has its own difficulty level).

The player can play for White or Black.

Thanks.

Do you mean creating filtered game list from .pgn first, then use this list as starting point to practice endgame with computer?

That's a possibility indeed.

We can also imagine a right click from the database like this:

We can imagine a new tab in Learn that would propose various endgames from a loaded PGN.

etc...

The basic idea is simply to be able to replay one's endgame because in tournaments, we may miss an endgame by lack of time. So it is a way to learn based on real examples given by the player.
