Theory/Pawn on the Seventh: Building the Bridge

Pawn on the Seventh: Building the Bridge

Your pawn is on the seventh rank and your king stands in front of it. As soon as your king steps out, his rook checks it. The way out is the bridge: push his king one file away with a check, put your rook on the fourth rank, walk your king out next to the pawn, and block his checks with your rook.
