I always blunder in the endgame.
We all blunder in the endgame. But not always, not every single game where an endgame is reached.
If you really always blunder in the endgame, then you need to work on it. There are several ways, even some available here at chess.com
Play live people... not the computer.
this is the best advice
okay
Why not retry just the endgame part of that game against the computer?
Just click on the analysis button. From there you can choose the option, "play against computer". Try it again, take your time, get your revenge!
If your problem is that you "always blunder in the endgame," the solution is simple: Quit blundering in the endgame! There is nothing magical about the endgame. All the pieces move the same as they do in the opening and middle game. It sounds to me as if you just give up and quit thinking and trying as soon as you reach the endgame.
Super helpful man @laskersnephew. If you don't have any actuall advice to add why are you here? This is the first Google result coming up for this topic right now and it's just insulting new players. No wonder people think chess players are snobs

Yes, it was totally worth resurrecting this old thread just to insult someone (who actually gave useful advice).
No insult intended! The OP's problem is obviously psychological, not a chess problem at all. If every time you get i an end game you start thinking "I always blunder in the endgame!" Then you are just setting yourself up to lose. As I said, there's nothing so special or magical about the endgame. The rules of chess still apply and all the pieces move the same way. But "I always blunder in the endgame" becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy if you let it.
When in a winning position(like the one seen in this game), it is easy to get confident and stop paying as much attention, just try to keep your guard up.
There's not a lot to say about this game. White played fine through 32 moves and then blundered horribly on his 33rd move. This isn't an endgame problem, it's a board vision or thinking problem. 33.hxg8=Q was the only sane move on the board. We are always told to "look at every check and capture," and 33.hxg8=Q is a capture. It should have been the first move to consider.
Take a look here. I was completely winning, and i made a few blunders and lost.
