still be a standard Philidor position, Black's simplest drawing strategy is to
prevent the White monarch from entering the sixth rank. } 76. f6 { The key point
is, if White ever attempts to use the pawn as a shield from side-checks } 76... Rc1 { Black exploits the fact that the pawn is now in front of the king and thus
unable to shield the king from rear-checks! }) 76. Kg6! Rb8 (76... Rb1 77. Ra8+ Ke7 78. f6+ Ke6 79. Re8+ Kd7 80. Kf7 { and White has achieved a Lucena

White's rook already occupies the 8th rank. } 80... Rg1+ 81. Kh5! { by avoiding the
f-file, White can slowly eliminate Black's checking distance. Ordinarily,
Black could exploit this by playing Rf1 to attack both f7 and f8, but here the
rook already covers the 8th rank. } 81... Rh1+ 82. Kg4 Rg1+ 83. Kh3 Rh1+ 84. Kg2)) 77. f6 Kg8 78. Rg7+ Kf8 79. Rh7! { 1-0 White wins. } 1-0
