00:00And it's an endgame. White has an extra piece, but our pawn is under attack and our knight is under the attack.

00:11In the middle game, or in the opening, you definitely have to pay attention to this threat, because knight is more valuable than a pawn.

00:20But we're in the endgame, so protecting the knight doesn't do us any good.

00:24If we protect the knight and black takes the pawn, that's a theoretically drawn position.

00:28Rook and knight cannot win against a lone rook.

00:33So, but how can we benefit from keeping this pawn alive?

00:37Because it's not simply a pawn's endgame, where pawn is rushing.

00:41Black still has a rook, and this rook can just go around and stop our pawn.

00:47The trick is that we play a quiet move, a3.

00:53It doesn't seem logical. Black simply takes the knight with a check.

00:56But then king g2, and surprise, surprise, the rook that has so many moves cannot avoid the exchange.

01:03If rook goes back on h1 or g1, then rook d1 will exchange rooks.

01:08And our pawn is unstoppable, while the black pawn can easily stop, because our king is too close.

01:15But instead of moving to the first rank, rook h1 or g1, black rook can go back to f4.

01:23And then we understand why our pawn moved not to a4, but to a3.

01:29Sometimes it's very important.

01:30You make just a small move.

01:34One square.

01:34But it has devastating effect, because this pawn protects square b4.

01:43And after rook b3 check, king goes on c2, or a2, it doesn't matter.

01:47Then we'll go rook b4.

01:49And rook, black rook is trapped.

01:51Technically, it's not trapped, because black can exchange rook.

01:54Either taking on b4, and after a b4, our pawn is unstoppable.

01:57Or moving rook on g1.
