4- Endgame King and Pawn versus King
The foundation of all pawn endings — when one extra pawn wins, when it draws, and the geometric concepts of key squares and the rule of the square that decide every case in three rules of thumb.
- Endgame The Lucena Position
The canonical winning technique in king-and-rook-and-pawn versus king-and-rook — when the pawn has reached the seventh rank, the defender's king is cut off, and the attacker must build a bridge to shelter from rook checks.
- Endgame The Philidor Position
The defensive cousin of the Lucena — how the weaker side draws king-and-rook against king-and-rook-and-pawn when the defender's king is on the queening square and the rook can hold the third rank.
- Endgame The Vancura Position
The defensive method that holds rook-and-pawn against rook when the pawn is a rook pawn — the case where the Lucena method fails and the Philidor needs reinforcement.
