Asked it on the refdesk, but didn't get an answer, so maybe you know.

In the endgame of R + B + wrong rook pawn on R7 vs R (where the enemy king is sitting on R8 blocking the pawn), do you have to give up the pawn to make progress? Double sharp (talk) 16:28, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. I watch some of the refdesks, but not always. I salvaged a draw in a crucial tournament game in 1972 because of the wrong rook pawn, and I studied it afterwards. It has happened since. But offhand, I don't know. I have a very large collection of endgame books, but I am in the process of moving to a new house (within 2 weeks) and all of the books are at the other house.

I do remember something similar with a R+RP versus B, with the king in the corner, but the RP was the RIGHT rook pawn. But the stronger side had to give up the pawn at the right moment to get to a won K+R versus K+B endgame (which is generally drawn). So he pawn might have to be given up.

Some R+B vs. R positions are won, so you might have to give up the pawn when the resulting R+B vs. R position is a win. 23:11, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. Yeah, from looking at specific positions it seems plausible that once you bring the king to support the pawn, the defender gets forced into very passive rook placement, and the resulting R+B vs R will be won. I was however uncertain if this procedure works in general, and if it is the only way forward. Double sharp (talk) 06:46, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is what I've been thinking too. You could try it with a chess engine or endgame databases. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 01:13, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
