A study by L. Kubbel, 1914, on the theme of the defence of the rook’s pawn from the rear for the sake of gaining a tempo for transition to a won pawn ending, is also very instructive. Although at the moment the knight can defend the pawn only from the front side, White to move wins since he can achieve a very favourable defence from the rear.
