Theory/Rook Behind the Passed Pawn

Rook Behind the Passed Pawn

Your rook stands behind your passed pawn, his rook in front of it. Each push gives your rook more of the file and leaves his rook less room. Push the pawn to the seventh rank, where his rook is stuck on the queening square, then bring your king to attack that rook.
