    Why King and pawn side-by-side is a draw: Black king moves 3 squares away in opposition to the White king, or moves in front of the pawn if allowed. You can only force the Black king back by putting it in check with the pawn (Black king moves in front of the pawn, White king has to go behind the pawn, Black is forced back). This is all fine and dandy until you reach the 8th row, but now the Black King can't be forced back. When you check with the pawn on the 7th row and Black moves in front of it, White has to move behind the pawn to protect it, which results in stalemate. If White goes to any other square, Black takes the pawn.

    @DesilateLamprophony 3 місяці тому

    You can actually push the pawn up twice in a row when black backed up, your king would be defending him from the diagonal. This gets you to the end 2 moves quicker, since your king only moves once up now and then when you queen yourself, the black king still has to backup into the corner since your white king has the diagonal coverage. But I get the point :p

    What do you do if the king moves back? Do you push?

      Move your king forward. If their king keeps retreating, chase it to the edge of the board.
      Be careful when pushing your pawn. If it ends up anywhere further forward than one rank behind your king, and your opponent's king can immediately take the opposition, it's usually a draw. Your king generally needs to be a good distance ahead of your pawn.

    so im assuming A and H is a draw because if they go to the left, you cant go to the right

    What if the black king pushes towards the pawn without facing it after you flank your king?

    What happens if the opposing king doesn’t face the lawn again?
