from the side from some distance away, while preventing the white king from finding cover from checks. The black king must be on the opposite side of their rook as the pawn to not block the attacks. The black rook moves behind the pawn as soon as the pawn moves up to its seventh rank. Also, Black's king must be near the corner on the opposite side of the board if the pawn advances to its seventh rank so the white rook cannot check the black king and then support the advance of the pawn, or

If the defending king cannot get in front of the pawns, the outcome depends on which file the pawns are on and where the defending king is cut off.

If the pawn is a central pawn, going to the long side with the defending king will sometimes give the rook just enough checking distance if it is on the rook file on the opposite side of the pawn. Defending this way is a far more arduous task, so moving the defending king to the short side is always

The Vančura position (see diagram) is a drawing position with a rook and rook's pawn versus a rook, when the pawn is not beyond its sixth rank, and the stronger side's rook is in front of the pawn. It was studied by Josef Vančura (1898–1921), published in 1924. Black's rook keeps attacking the pawn

Endings with a rook pawn arise frequently because they are more likely to be the last remaining pawn. If the pawn is a rook pawn, the chances of a draw are much greater. Even the equivalent of the Lucena position is no guarantee of success (it depends on the location of the white rook and who is to

Not all positions similar to the Lucena position above are wins for the superior side – it depends on the position of Black's rook and king (relative to White's pawn), and which side is to move. In positions such as the position in this diagram, the defending rook must be at least four files away

to keep the white king from reaching that rank. If White advances the pawn to its sixth rank (Black's third rank), then the king is deprived of shelter, so Black moves their rook to the eighth (or seventh) rank, and keeps checking the white king from behind. It is very important that the defender

The position by Chéron is basically the same, except moved over two files. Now the white king has less room to maneuver on the left of the pawn's file, and Black can prevent the advance of the pawn and draw. If White starts with 1. Ka4, the rook checks the king, and the king is forced back to b3.
5169:
Now Black threatens to check from the side to keep White from making any progress. Black needs space to do this, which is why the king must move out of the way to the short side. There must be at least three files between Black's rook and the pawn, otherwise White's king can protect White's pawn

Philidor's defense can also be used with the black rook on the fourth rank, if White's king and pawn have not reached that rank. If this defense is used, the black king should be on the second rank. The principle is the same: Black keeps their rook on the fourth rank, keeping the white king from

4443:
As an example, Black to move draws in this diagram. The reason is that Black can check the white king from the side with their rook, and the rook is just far enough away from the white king that if it tries to approach the rook to stop the checks, the rook can get behind the pawn and win it,
3806:
Sometimes, the defender's king is in front of the pawn, but the rook cannot get to its third rank to reach the Philidor position. Thus, they have two choices: try to attack from behind, or retreat to the back rank with their rook to guard the mating threats. The diagrams show such back-rank

This table summarizes results from games compiled from several game databases, where this position was reached. "Max DTC" is the maximum number of moves in depth to conversion, either a checkmate or conversion to a winning endgame via promotion of the pawn or capture of the opposing rook.

With a rook pawn, usually in actual play the defending rook or king is able to get in front of the pawn. If the defending king gets in front of the pawn, the game is a draw. If the defending rook gets in front of the pawn, the result depends on which king arrives on the scene first.

and the defending king is in front of the pawn. The defending king blocks the pawn and the rook is on the first rank preventing checks by the rook. In the diagram, Black draws. If 1.g7 then 1...Rb6+ draws, and if 1.Rg7+ then 1...Kh8 draws. White's best attempt is:

This method does not work for rook pawns (e.g. a- and h-files) or knight pawns (e.g. b- and g-files), because the white king does not have room to maneuver. However, the Lucena position (below) is a win for White if the pawn is not a rook pawn.

If the attacking king has not reached the sixth rank, the defense works for any pawn. In the second diagram, White to move wins by getting their king to the sixth rank so the defending rook can not leave the back rank because of the threat of

followed by Ra8 then Ra2-d2+ (or any other safe check on the d-file). After this, and the same if Black prevents the check by placing their own rook on the d-file, White plays Kg7 Rg(any)+; Kf8 then f7, reaching the Lucena position.

Other fourth moves by Black are no better. If 4...Rd4+ then 5.Ke5 wins, as the rook cannot stop the pawn. If Black tries a different move, say 4...Re2 then White moves 5.Rc5 and builds a bridge on the fifth rank.

If the black king went to the long side, Black would not have the resource of checking from the side. For example, from the second diagram above, where 2...Kg8! draws as shown above:
