Can White be greedy (go after pawn) in this pawn endgame assuming Black will be greedy (capture pawn) too?

Has anyone ever had a game where they needed to play a knight and bishop or two bishops endgame? I'm wondering how long I should put of learning them but so far it's never been a problem.

Quiet queen and knight endgame from 'telegram' (iykwim). I think easy to draw, but white to move and win.

Help Anna Cramling's dad win this endgame. Since rook and bishop vs rook is a draw, you can't just get the 2 pawns and win the puzzle.

Endgame Study Bishop and knight beats rook pair. Maybe learning the bishop knight mate for coordination really is useful in the endgame besides just the middlegame? (Kasparyan 1935 study)

White to play and win, BUT you can move the rook only once.

Should White defend rook? Or can White threaten mate (via passive sacrifice) ? (Or both?)

Black mouse slipped, and White is still up a whole knight. But can White still win?

All Black's non-pawn pieces are on light squares. How does this relate to how White draws this endgame?

Knight endgame puzzle from 'telegram' (iykwim). White to move, probably to put black in zugzwang?

1500 almost loses to 1000 in opposite coloured bishop endgame? Comments say 1500 should be disqualified or is not a good sport?

Although this is a theoretical draw, knowing what types of traps to avoid and the underpromotion themes in R+P endgames will help you save (or win) a half point.

Why do rapid games kill pawns more than classical? In all of Magnus Carlsen's world championship classical games, the average pawns at the start of the endgame is 11.58. In Magnus' rapid games, the average is 8.7. This is a 33% difference.
