Below is a Game in 15/5, with some decent Rook and Pawn endgame technique to grind out my one pawn advantage.
Nothing Fancy. Black resigned on move 73.
But I had to repeat moves a couple times because I had only 20 seconds remaining and my opponent had about 5 minutes.
Either John Nunn or Edmar Mednis books will quickly teach you these rook and pawn endgame themes.
P.S. I am certain that I played just like a USCF B, or A, Class player. But nothing better than that. So I am NOT trying to put on airs in this thread.
There were certainly lots of improvments for both sides in this game. Stronger players will easily find many of them.
Black should probably have been able to hold the draw, assuming he knew the proper technique. Enjoy.
