The Corner
Part of the The King and the Pawn section of Coddy's Endgames journey. Lesson 23 of 26.
A rook pawn breaks every rule of this section. The defending king needs only the corner: from there it cannot be driven out - the pawn arrives with check, or its own king blocks it, or it is stalemate. Against a rook pawn, run for the corner; with one, keep his king out. The corner is a fortress.
