ChessEndgames.net is an educational chess portal written by grandmasters, FIDE titled players and chess trainers. Complete Chess Endgames for all chess players – beginners, amateurs and professionals.
Of special significance in tournament practice are positions with blockaded rook’s pawns on the fourth and fifth ranks. The following example with a distant passed pawn on f5 will help us formulate an important rule for assessing and handling of these endings!
The diagonal line goes from black pawn and is refracted on c-file. Here, white pawn has crossed that line and White cannot win!
