The whole point about this position is that you get to learn how to win a position which is king and rook v king and rook plus one pawn ,the deal is to be able to convert your extra into a queen or force your opponent to trade his rook for your passed pawn thus winning.
As you can see from the diagram the black pawn is one move away from queening so how to finish this position of important to remember this technique can be used even if the pawn is further away from the queening square.
1..FIRST FORCE THE WHITE KING AWAY FROM THE PAWN..
2..NOW BRING THE BLACK ROOK TO THE FOUTH RANK
Very important to remember to bring the rook to the fourth rank as we plan to swap rooks off and
this is a essential component of the plan
3..After the white rook plays g8 to place itself behind the black pawn you simply play kf2 ,white will check on f8 then the king goes to g4 if g8 check then the black rook comes across the block the check.
Ideally you should end up in a position like this ....were the if the rooks are exchanged the white king will not be able to stop the black pawn from becoming a queen.
Its important to remember that your opponent can not easily deviate from the standard moves and if you practice this endgame against a engine you will be surprised at how good you become at it
and how much easier it becomes to understand some of the easier principles of chess,also you will be surprised at how many people do not know how to play a endgame like this properly
