Theory/Rook Against Connected Pawns

Rook Against Connected Pawns

A study from 1851. His two connected pawns stand on a3 and b2, and your rook on b1 already stops them. The draw comes from your king. The rule: leave the rook on b1, and move your king down beside his so that his king never gets past, then cross to the pawns.
