K-Kt4 END GAME HINTS PAWNS (Continued) By Kamat After having acquainted himself with the opposition the isolated pawn and the Queenina field, the render would do well to remember certain maxims which, fnr convenience sake, may be termed "Tarrasch" rules.
Dr. Tarrasch has done so much work as a leachrr of modern chess that it will not be amiss If we term some of the well-known maxims after this great preceptor, even though these maxims have existed long prior to Dr. Tarrasch himself. The first and the foremost one Is that you must support and attark a pawn by a rook from the rear. Imbuing the said pawn with a portion of the rook'a vitality and alvlng a dynamic eneray, besides satisfying the said pawn's "best to expand." Second: Rook and pawn cannot win against Rook If the defending King occupies the Queening square.
Dr. Tarrasch gives the following diagram: Phllldor'a drawn position. Black d Now Blacks pawns are imposing and, White can do little. Equivalent to resignation. White Here the critical rank Is the sixth Black Rook has occupied the square and does best to move to and fro along It until the pawn advances In KS.
After the aald P advance the Black Rook moves to Black's eighth rank and attacks the White King, which can no longer hide behind hla pawn. The Rook continues to attack until the K la out of the reach of the P and then wins the pawn by a combined attack of K and R. Third: Two united passed pawns nearly always win. Fourth; A superiority of two Isolated passed pawns generally leada to a win However, If the pawns are a Rook'a anri a Bishop's on the same aide of the board and are opposed by a well-placed King a win usually cannot be forced, Dr. Tarrasch notices an "Important exception to the first rule "The Rook'a Place Is behind the pawns" In thg following position: Black White In the above position Whit must play 1. K-R.1 to shut out the Black King from Its fourth rank, 1. R-1 following the rule leada but lo a draw while 1. R-RS wins is follows: 1 R-RA, K-QV 2 K-KI7, P-Bii; 1 R-R3. P-B"; 4 R-OHJ and wins If 1.
