Very instructive video. Derek Grimmell's videos on Q v R are also quite thorough.

[@ChessGoals]

Glad it was helpful!

[@anizanm19]

this video is awesome. been looking for a while for a good video showing postions before the philidor setup. this one is very instructive for me

[@ChessGoals]

Glad it helped!

[@pittasso]

The most instructive video i could find for this endgame! Thank you!Keep up the good work!

[@ChessGoals]

Wow, thanks!

[@bobbyb5710]

It seems to place the queen a horse move from king is never a bad move, almost always correct right?

[@mattjass9914]

Thank you! I've been looking for this everywhere!

[@ChessGoals]

Glad I could help!

Blacks initial move with 1...Re4 makes it easy (intuitive) to move the king to the edge as compared to if black had started with 1...Kd4 opposing the white king after which this method with three squares between queen and king along the same file does not work. Even after 2. Qe7 the best response is Re5. The moves described ensure that whites king shall always pressure the rook making it easy for the king to be pushed back which is not the case with best play

Thanks man

2... Rd4+ is not good. Instead of moving the black pieces, why not let the computer pick the moves.
In that position stockfish says the best moves are either 2... Re5, Re6, or Ke6. I tried several times and stockfish wont let me get your position at 1:18. Two times in a row I could get your position (from a random start position), but with the Queen touching the rook (and not the white King touching the rook).

[@ChessGoals]

I'd suggest taking a look with tablebases and see what the fastest path is. It can be tricky.

[@bobbyb5710]

The best videos about this where I actually learned a lot is the guy Derek Grimell.

[@saulgoodman1884]

The only thing I struggle with is at 5:02 when black plays Ra8 and there are no forks for white

[@bobbyb5710]

you have to be careful for pins , if black can pin you its a draw

[@ChessGoals]

Thanks Bobby!

[@bobbyb5710]

This video helped me alot.

[@ianpzk4719]

Good one !

[@ChessGoals]

Thanks ✌️

[@Biskawow]

why not play it vs stockfish and problem solved? why move pieces yourself

[@mothukurisrinivasarao5444]

Can we play with stockfish only certain peices?

[@theawakeningknight]

​@@mothukurisrinivasarao5444yes

[@louiswilkie]

At 4:47, what if he plays ra5?

[@bekpamper7376]

Does not work against stockfish. He does not allow me to get that position.

[@ChessGoals]

You can look at a tablebase to help
