In this video, IM Kostya Kavutskiy is teaching you how to play with passed pawns in the endgame.

Summary:
What is a passed Pawn?
A passed pawn is any pawn that can advance all the way to the end without being blocked or captured by an enemy pawn.

What is a protected passed Pawn?
A passed pawn which is defended by another pawn is called protected passed pawn. This is actually a stronger passed pawn than an unprotected passed pawn.

What is the square of the Pawn?
The square of the pawn is a method to determine whether your pawn will be able to reach the last rank or not. This is a very important concept in king and pawn endgames. The rule is as follows:
If the king is within the square then the king will be able to reach the pawn assuming that all of the squares are open and available for the king
If the king is outside the square then the king won’t be able to reach the pawn. The king would not be in time.

Knowing these important methods will help you to find the right moves in endgames.
