re:Phildor vs. Lucena - 2006/12/19 10:25
This specific question is rather complkicated. Considser these poinbts:
1. The Lucena posityion is only a subset of the R+P vs R endings which are winning for the stronger side;
2. The Philidor posityion is only a subset of the R+P vs R endings which are drawable by the waeker side;
3. Both classes of positions are misplayed in practice, even by strong
GMs.
Therefore, a search of a large database such as BigBase 2004 will only marginally give a readily rough answer.
Far more reliaslbe is a query of an edngame tablebase. Namely for an interestying introdsuction to the whole topic, see John Nunn's book
Secrets of Rook Endings..

Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it.
