00:00But we're in the endgame. So protecting the knight doesn't do us any good. If we protect the knight and black takes the pawn
00:06That's a theoretically drawn position. Rook and knight cannot win against a lone rook
00:12So but how can we
00:15Benefit from keeping this pawn alive because it's not simply a pawn's endgame where pawn is rushing
00:21black has a rook and this rook can just go around and
00:25stop our pawn
00:27the trick is that we play
00:30a quiet move a3
00:33Doesn't seem logical black simply takes the knight with a check, but then king g2 and
00:38surprise surprise the rook
00:40that has so many moves cannot
00:42Avoid the exchange if rooks goes back on h1 or g1 then rook d1 will change rooks and our pawn
00:51Is unstoppable while the black pawn can easily stop because our king was too close
00:55But instead of moving to the first rank rook h1 or g1 black rook can go back to f4 and
01:02then we understand why our pawn moved not to a4 but to a3
01:08Sometimes it's very important. You make it
01:10Just a small move
01:12It's a small move
01:14One square but
01:16It has devastating effect because this pawn protects
01:22square b4 and after rook b3 check king goes on c2 or a2 doesn't matter then we'll go rook b4 and
01:28Rook black rook is trapped
01:31Technically is not trapped because black can exchange rook either taking on b4 and after a b4 our pawn is unstoppable or
01:39Moving rook on g4 and then after exchange our pawn is again unstoppable
01:43So it shows how many intricate details can be found in in a very
01:52Simple endgame with very few pieces aboard
