Hi guys, today I'm going to show you an important rook ending called the Lucena. The Lucena postion is always winning for the side who has that has the extra pawn. Pawn can be on the B to F file. There are also positions where you can have and extra pawn on 5th or 6th ranks but the key to get to the Lucena is to have your king in front of the pawn.
I hope that this helped you, this is a very common crucial postion that you need to know. I will come back later with more rook endgames topics and much more!
