Since the rook is not a good blockader of enemy
passed pawns, it is generally the king that
should take on this task. So it is often a good
idea to cut the king off from any passed pawns.
Owing to his passive king and the constant
need to protect against a back-row mate, the
weakness of his a-pawn will cost Black the
game.

A typical te.chnique for keeping a king out of
the game is to cut it off with a rook. In rook endings
especially, this theme often plays an important
role.

It is essential for Black to prevent the white
king from getting in front of the d-pawn.
