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

How to play king and rook vs king and pawn when the king can be cut off at the 6th rank. This video is important because it deals with a position that occurs often in chess endgames.

“In order to improve your game, you must study the endgame before everything else, for whereas the endings can be studied and mastered by themselves, the middle game and the opening must be studied in relation to the endgame”
~ Jose Raul Capablanca

Recognition for Efforts Given - Admins

I'm giving dhey and lph a 2 rank promotion for the contribution they make towards the team. However, I'm removing them from admin because they don't need to be an admin for what they do. This will excuse them of any problems that the team may be experiencing from within. Because lately, I've been noticing some things and I can't figure it out and I would hate to take it out on our admins for something they haven't done. This is to inform everyone in case you were wondering what happen. BK
