Train/The Standard Draw: Rook in Front of the Pawn on the Seventh

The Standard Draw: Rook in Front of the Pawn on the Seventh

You are a pawn up, with a passed pawn on the seventh rank, and it is still only a draw. This is the standard defensive setup: your rook is stuck on a8, the enemy rook waits behind it on a1, and the black king sits safely on g7 or h7.
