BK Academy of Chess - King & Rook vs King & Pawn - Part I

This lesson teaches how to play when your king is behind your opponent's pawn and your rook controls the promotion rank. The king is protecting the pawn so the rook can't do it alone. To get the win, you must know how to play these positions. And remember to pause the video to use your brain, you learn better that way.

“Play the opening like a book, the middle game like a magician, and the endgame like a machine” (Spielmann)

A lesson in chessboard geometry - A straight line in chess is not necessarily the shortest distance between two squares. This composition by Black__Knight is a variation of Reti's famous 1922 endgame composition, "revealing with limited material the complexities that some pawn endings can contain" (GM Paul Keres).
