To me this endgame:http://en.chessbase.com/post/danzhou-wang-yue-wins-with-2887-performance

I would change my vote if this endgame was part of it.

The Aronian draw against Carlsen should be here...the computer ending not.

Kxf6!?!?! CALRSEN NAKA ANYONE?

The computer ending looks the most impressive, but it doesn't seem fair to include computergames here. From the remaining games I like Wojtaszek-Ding. Not sure why Anand-Carlsen ishere, as it was neither a particularly beautiful endgame nor an accurately played one.

I think the best endgame of the year 2015 is the one which took place in Qatar 2015; Carlsen vsNakamura.

The Wojtaszek-Liren endgame is in my opinion the most challenging one, and therefore thehardest to convert, because the material is really almost even, and Wojtaszek got little wrong,while Liren played really flawlessly so I choose this one. This statement needs a little explanation.Karjiakin has already a clear material advantage over Svidler, and white's king has also ot inenemy territory; that's enough for me not to consider that game. Also in So-Lagrave endgame,

Lagrave has already a clear avdantage, although little, about half a point (2.5 points for the knight against 2points for the two pawns that So is up of).The Jonny-Komodo endgame is perhaps the most balanced in materialof them all, and yet in such a close position with all those pawns on the board, every chess textbook teaches youthat having a knight against a bishop is a clear advantage; make no mistake though, I could have never playedlike that, but both the opponents were strong engines, wich is like to have me against a same level humanopponent: on the long run I'd have good chances to win. The Anand-Carlsen position is essentially a missedchance by Anand, although in a situation that personally I can hardly think of as an endgame yet; I'd really call itstill a middlegame, where Anand missed a chance, and missing a chance in a middlegame is pretty different thanmissing it in an endgame: in the former case it can be thought of as a strategic mistake, even in the Anand case,although hardly, I admit, while in the latter as a tecnical mistake, whereas endgame is really all about (brilliant)tecnique, which, at the end of the day, is what we are asked to assess here. Finally the Suba-Ibanez endgame isa plain an simple underestimation of a drawn position by Suba, a big mistake: too easy for Ibanez to win.
