White to move

Hold a draw

Endgame · Lesson 5 of 8

What it’s about

  1. Stay in front of the opposing pawn. Against a rook pawn the promotion corner is often safe. Stalemate or capturing the last pawn can secure the draw.
  2. Takebacks affect the score. For draws this exercise accepts an available repetition or 50-move claim.
