I liked that Josh Friedel one.
Very good points he's making.
And - brings me to making another point about Lucena positions.
Its not just 'getting to a Lucena position'.
It could be getting to a position even stronger and better than a Lucena.
But if you're getting to a position worse than a Lucena then you might not want to get into it - or trade down to it or whatever.
So its not just a Lucena 'coming up'.
Its also millions of positions worse or better than a Lucena.
Similiar with a Philidor's.
So you can use those classic positions for 'navigation and comparison' ...
and it might be better to say 'a Lucena postion' and 'a Philidor's position'
as there's Way more than one of each. Including by just reversing the colors or by reversing the position to a mirror image on the other side of the board. But there are others.
In a Philidor's white has over-extended his pawn at a bad time. Or is caused to.
And his King has no shelter from the rear because black has time to play his rook back - where white was prevented from having a sixth rank King by black's rook being on the sixth. Plus Black correctly has his King in front of the pawn.
In a Lucena Black cannot get his King in front of the pawn.
