3 ROOK AND PAN ENDINGS (PANS ON ONE SIDE) 2 Rook and Pawn Endings (Pawns on One Side of the Board) Now we have looked at the most important fundamental rook endgames, we can broaden our study to include examples where both players have pawns. In this chapter we will be dealing with situations where pawns are on one side of the board only, whereas the next chapter deals with pawns on both sides of the board. This chapter, more than any, would be the one that most supports Tartakower s aphorism that all rook endgames are drawn. It s true to say that trying to exploit a one-pawn advantage when all the pawns are on one side of the board is most difficult in rook endgames. That said, however, there s never any harm in trying! hat I m hoping to give in this chapter is enough attacking and defensive weapons for the survivor to be confident when reaching these positions. Rook and Pawn vs Rook and Pawn Despite a number of dead drawn positions, there are still occasions that can produce decisive results, the obvious one being when both pawns are passed, and one is much nearer to promotion than the other (for more on this see the next chapter). There are also some important positions involving blocked pawns, which we shall look at here. These are of particular interest as they often arise from a 2 vs 1 situation, where the attacking side sacrifices a pawn. R K p Zk+ +-+-t-+- Neimanis Agzamov USSR 1970 Black can win the f-pawn, but this is not enough to win the game. 1 Îa3! Îe4+ 2 Êf5 Îe2
4 42 THE SURVIVAL GUIDE TO ROOK ENDINGS 2...Îb4 makes no progress after 3 Îa2. 3 Êg4 Îxf2 4 Îb3! Simply keeping up the pressure on the f3-pawn. 4...Îf1 5 Îa3 Îb1 The point to hite s defence is seen after 5...f2 6 Îg3+! Êh2 7 Îh3+, when Black cannot escape perpetual check. 6 Îxf3 Ó-Ó B +-+-TK+r+-+-z P mp+ Csom Gaprindashvili Olot Êxg4? This transposes into a lost 1 vs 1 position. Black could have drawn with 1...Êg5!; for example, 2 Êg7 Îa4! 3 Îe6 Îxg4 4 Îxf6 Îf4. 2 Êg6 Êf4 3 Îe6 Îa1 4 Îb6! Accurately played. hite throws away the win after either 4 Êxf6? Îa5 or 4 Îxf6 Îg1+ 5 Êf7 Îa1 6 Êg7 Êg57Îf7Îa58f6Îa69Îf8Îb6 (compare with the last example). 4...Îa5 5 Îxf6 Êg4 6 Îf8 Îb5 7 f6 1-0 hen compared to the last example, being an extra file back makes all the difference. hite wins after 7...Îg5+ 8 Êf7 Êf5 9 Îa8. T z-+ +r+-+pm K+- Barle Shipov Ljubljana 1992 This is another type of position that produces a common error on the defensive side. hite to play can draw with 1 Îa8! (or 1 Îf5!) 1...Êxf3 (after 1...Îxf3+ 2 Êg1 Îb3 3 Îg8+ Êf3 4 Îf8 the white king is on the short side, while 1...Îb1+ 2 Êe2 Êg2 allows 3 Îg8+, cutting off the black king) 2 Êg1! (using the short-side defence) 2...Êe2 3 Îa2+ Êe3 4 Êg2 Îc3 5 Îb2. Instead the game continued: 1 Îa2? Îb1+ 2 Êe2 Êg2! 3 Îa3 Now after 3 Îa8 Îb2+ 4 Êe1 Êxf3 the white king has been forced to the long side and Black is winning; for example, 5 Îf8 Îb1+ 6 Êd2 Îf1 7 Îf7 Êg2 8 Îf8 f3 9 Îg8+ Êf Îb8 4 Îc3 Îe8+ 5 Êd1 Êf2 0-1 It s all over. hite s king is cut off and there s no defence to 6...Îe3.
5 ROOK AND PAN ENDINGS (PANS ON ONE SIDE) 43 -+k+-+-+ T P p+r+-+- -M Vydeslaver Gershon Rishon le Zion 1995 On certain occasions having a pawn can actually hinder the defending side. ithout the b5-pawn this would be a simple draw. ith the pawn, hite wins easily by using it to shelter his king from checks. In fact, after 1 Êa5! Black resigned immediately (1-0), as there is no defence to 2 Êb6. Rook and 2 Pawns vs Rook and Pawn A) The attacking side has no passed pawn First of all it has to be said that in general these endgames have a drawish tendency. Normally the further up the board the two pawns are, the greater the practical and theoretical winning chances. e shall take a look at the most common 2 vs 1 structures, bearing in mind which ones can be obtained from both 3 vs 2 structures and 4 vs 3 structures. h- & g-pawns vs g-pawn This 2 vs 1 endgame offers the attacking side only very small practical winning chances. Indeed in my database the attacking side could only win 17% of the games with g5- and h5- pawns vs a g7-pawn (or any mirror image for hite and Black). In most of these cases it was simply because the defender s king had been cut off from the action. hen the king isn t cut off, the defender s task is relatively easy as a pawn exchange will result in the attacking side being left with either a g- pawn or an h-pawn. As we have seen already, the defending side has a few ways to deal with this eventuality. Another important factor is that the attacking side has no space to the right of the pawns. Consequently, there is no shelter from rook checks from the side. As I mentioned before, practical winning chances and chances for tricks increase, the further up the board the two pawns are, so we shall be concentrating on these examples. hen the pawns are further back, real winning chances only exist if there are other favourable factors, e.g., if the defending king is cut off. The diagram overleaf is a typical position for this type of endgame. Black can draw quite comfortably. 1...Îb1 2 Êf5 Îf1+ 3 Êe6 Îh1 At this point I actually agreed a draw, but in fact hite has one more trick that should at least be tried. 4 Îd8!? Îe1+! Black must avoid the obvious move 4...Îxh5?, which loses after 5 Êf5!

The white king is lacking shelter. 8 Êc7 Îh1 Black could keep checking, but the text-move leads immediately to a drawn position. 9 g6+ Êh6 10 Îh8+ Êg5 and Black draws. In the next diagram, hite simply defends on the back rank, which is also sufficient for a draw. 1 Îf1+ Êe4 2 Îe1+ Êf4 3 Îa1 Êe3 4 Îb1 Sticking to the back-rank strategy. 4 Îa8?! makes the defence more difficult, although hite still draws after 4...Îd1+ 5 Êh2 g3+ 6 Êh3 Îh1+ 7 Êg4 Êf2 8 Îa2+ Êg1 9 Îb2 Êh2 10 Êxh4 Îf1 11 Êg4 Îf2 12 Îb3 Îxg2 13 Êh4 Îg1 14 Îa Êe2 5 Îa1 (D) B pz -+-tk+p+ T-+-+-M- After this Black has the opportunity to exchange rooks, but the resulting king and pawn endgame is drawn.
