The method even works with rook-
pawns, although the defender has as
an alternative the simpler, passive
defense we covered last month.
White has achieved a lot. His king

rank, and his rook limits black'sEasy

king to his back rank. White threat-
ens to bring his king (remember,
you generally want to advance your,
king first) to the sixth rank, where it
would add mating threats, eventual-
ly chasing the defending king from
guarding the queening square.
Despite all of these advantages,
the position is a basic draw. (Rook
endings tend to draw!) Remember
this key position and practice with
it. Philidor worked out a method
that split the point easily, illustrat-
ing the drawing power of the rook.
This three-part technique is now
part of every chess master's knowl-
edge:
1. ... Rb6. Step one: black keeps
white's king off the sixth rank.
2. e6. (or 2. Rg7 Ra6 3. Rg6
Rxg6 4. Kxg6 Ke7=) This is a
simple king opposition draw.
2. ... Rbi! Step two: after white
pushes his pawn to the sixth
rank, black's rook immediatelydrops all the way back to harass
the white king from the rear.
3. Kf6 Rfi+ 4. Ke5 Rei+ 5. Kd6
Rdi+, draw.
Phildor's method
1. The defender prevents his
opponent's king from ad-
vancing to the sixth rank, so
the superior side is forced to
push his pawn, using it as a
shelter, to advance his king
to the sixth rank.
2. At this point, the defender
moves his rook to the rear,
usually all the way to the
first rank - in order to give
checks.
3. With the pawn on the sixth
rank, the attacker's king
can't escape being checked
from behind, so he isn't able
to create the mating threats
needed to chase the defend-
ing king from the queening
square. EJordan Unit hosts

Jordan Unit
he Jordan Unit hosted a five-on-five basketball tournament, with
six teams playing in a double elimination format. After weeks of
competition, it came down to the final two teams: Team One and
Team Five. In the end, Team Five won, led by the game's MVP B. Thomas.
Thomas hit six three-pointers, ending the game with 21 points, which
proved decisive in his team's victory.
Participants thank all players and referees, the administration and
the staff on the Jordan Unit. Thanks go especially to Mrs. Copeland for
facilitating the tournament
