Anyone rated 1600-2000 here on lichess want to spar on some endgame positions I have? • page 2/2 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

Why not spar with the engine?

Because sometimes in endgames the engine can make it really easy for example your playing a pawn endgame you know pawn + king vs king. The engine (depending on the position) will run the king to the opposite side of the board to keep the game alive. In short the engine makes the moves that will make it last the longest, not make the moves that makes it the hardest for you to win.
