  ### Answer by username_2 on 2018-08-16. Score: 2 | Accepted answer
  
  I've looked in several books, including Nunn's earlier edition of `Secrets of Rook Endings` (1992), Muller and Lamprecht's `Fundamental Chess Endings`, and `Silman's Complete Endgame Course`.
  
  None of them have give it a name or source, although Silman refers to it as a "Lucena" but notes that it's not a true Lucena, since it's a rook pawn. It does tend to get grouped together with the Lucena and Philidor positions and the bridge and Karstedt maneuvers.
