@WinOr10PushUps , "Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual" is on my list too, but after Capablanca and the other grand masters I will go with Yuri Averbakh before even considering crushing my mind with Dvoretsky's masterpiece. Averbakh has 5 books dedicated to different end game scenarios. :)

In the game that you showed, it was actually knight + pawn endgame and his knight could have been deadly, ironically due to your isolated h pawn.
About the passed pawns - it looks so only if you allow the idea of pieces being ranked by the standard: "knight = bishop = 3, rook = 5 and so on" to be imprinted as a habit. I was happy and free the moment I started to question that and allow myself to explore unsound and unbalanced things or positions. I saw an important grand master idea - Kasparov in the next video (one of my favorite) shows that he thinks more about the number of attacking/defending pieces and mating the opponent rather than "if I sacrifice a bishop, I need at least 3 pawns". Sometimes even Capablanca sacrifice a pawn or two for positional advantage or creating passed pawn(s) unreachable for the enemy king.

Keep up the good work! :)
