Hi everyone, hoping for a bit of help!
I am diligently working my way through Silman's Endgame Course and have got to the section on Philidor and Lucena Positions in rook + pawn vs rook endings.
I've worked through the exercises and understand the theory, but does anyone know of any masters games where these positions occurred or were about to occur and led to a resignation or draw offer?
The reason I am asking is because I want to work through the moves that lead up to the positions to see how they were reached in practical play.
I think I've seen one example of in an Aronian vs Carlsen back when Carlsen was around 2600 elo, but that is it.
Thanks in advance!
