Corvidae is a cosmopolitan family of oscine passerine birds that contains the crows, ravens, rooks, magpies, jackdaws, jays, treepies, choughs, and nutcrackers. [1] [2] [3] In colloquial English, they are known as the crow family or corvids. Currently, 139 species are included in this family.
In the ending of a rook and pawn versus a rook, where the pawn is a knight pawn (b- or g-file), the defending king is in front of the pawn, but the defender cannot get his rook to the third rank for the drawing Philidor position, the defending rook draws on its first rank but loses if it is attacking the pawn from behind.
For example, in Diagram 1, White can play 1.Rg3 Ke4 2.Re3+ Kf4 3.Rg3 Qc6+ 4.Kg1 and Black cannot make any progress. (This position would still be a draw even with a Black pawn on g4 or h4.) [ 3 ] However, getting the rook to the correct position can pose significant difficulties. [ 3 ]
Endings with rooks and any number of pawns are the most common type to occur in games, occurring in about 8 to 10 percent of all games. [14] [15] A majority of rook and pawn endings with more pawns have the potential of being reduced to this type of endgame (rook and one pawn versus rook).
A queen wins against a lone rook, unless there is an immediate draw by stalemate or due to perpetual check [3] (or if the rook or king can immediately capture the queen). In 1895, Edward Freeborough edited an entire 130-page book of analysis of this endgame, titled The Chess Ending, King & Queen against King & Rook.
