00:03White pawn is on a6 and king is gradually approaching
00:06So just should remember that the best position of the rook will be on this side
00:11Because when the king is approaching then you start checking and you always keep an eye if one goes on a seven to go
00:18Rook a6 so and you always have from here
00:21f6 on g6 you always have opportunities to to
00:25attack attack the king when it's approaching so
00:28You could probably can figure it out that definitely the best position of the rook is
00:33behind enemy's pawn sometimes on the side, but by because by doing so you're attacking the past pawn and
00:40Also, you are limiting the activity of opponent's rook
00:44It works even if you have many pawns here. Let's say you have
00:49Three pawns still the same if your hook was behind enemy's pawn you
00:55You can do two things
00:59You are limiting the activity of white's rook, but also you're attacking pawns here and you're preventing king from
01:05From activating and then you can start creating some counterplay by f6 g5. So just making sure that
01:12White cannot why king cannot walk away?
01:14without losing pawns on that side
01:17Now imagine that
01:19white rook
01:21goes on c6 for instance, especially if the pawn is not
01:26Rook pawn but knight pawn of course any movement of the pawn to the center
01:31Makes it more difficult. So because deep one will be better for white
01:36C pawn
01:37That's c pawn is probably as good because it's what's important that here. We have more chances of activating the king even sacrificing some pawns and
01:45reaching out
01:47But the ideal of course will be to put rook behind your pawn
01:51And that's for instance the that would be position
01:55Similar to what's happened in the last game of famous match in 1927
