King and pawn versus king endgame

The chess endgame with a king and a pawn versus a king is one of the most important and fundamental endgames, other than the basic checkmates (Lasker 1915). It is important to master this endgame, since most other endgames have the potential of reducing to this type of endgame via exchanges of pieces. It is important to be able to tell quickly whether a given position is a win or a draw, and to know the technique for playing it. The crux of this endgame is whether or not the pawn can be promoted (or queened), so checkmate can be forced.

In the first paragraph of one of his books on endgames, Peter Griffiths emphasized the importance of this endgame:

There is simply no substitute to a clear understanding of when and how these positions are won or drawn, not only so that one can play them accurately, but in order to recognize in advance what the correct result should be. If you can do that, you can exchange off quite confidently from a more complex position (Griffiths 1976:1).

In the positions in which the pawn wins, at most nineteen moves are required to promote the pawn (with optimal play) and at most nine more moves to checkmate, assuming that the pawn was promoted to a queen (Levy & Newborn 1991:144).

Except for the section on defending and some actual games, it will be assumed that White has a king and pawn and Black has a lone king. In general, Black should place his king in the path of the pawn to try to prevent its promotion.

Rule of the square

The first thing to realize is that the pawn may be able to queen unassisted by his king, simply by advancing to the queening square before the opposing king can capture or block the pawn. The rule of the square is useful in determining whether the pawn can queen unassisted, or whether the king can stop the pawn. In this position, the pawn is on the fifth square from the queening square (counting the queening square itself). A square of five by five squares with the queening square in one corner and the pawn in an adjacent corner can be imagined. (Often, the easiest method of constructing the square is to draw a diagonal mentally from the pawn to the last rank; this is the diagonal of the square). If the black king can move into this square, he can stop the pawn, otherwise the pawn wins the race. In this position, if it is Black's move, he can move to b4 and enter the square, therefore he can stop the pawn. If it is White's move, the pawn advances, the square shrinks to four by four, and the king cannot move into the square, so the pawn queens (Müller & Lamprecht 2007:15). See Wikibooks - Chess/The Endgame for further discussion on the rule of the square.

White to move draws

Note that in some cases, the king can catch a pawn when he is outside the square by creating threats that must be parried, and gain a tempo. In the Réti endgame study (by Richard Réti, 1921), the white king is outside the square of the black pawn, two tempi short of catching the pawn. However, White can draw by "going after two birds at once".

1. Kg7! h4
2. Kf6! Kb6

If 2...h3 then 3.Ke7 or 3.Ke6 and the pawns promote together.

3. Ke5! Kxc6

If 3...h3 then 4.Kd6 h2 5.c7, draw.

4. Kf4, resulting in a draw (Dvoretsky 2011:29).

Key squares

Main article: Key square

If the defending king is within the "square", then the pawn cannot queen without the help of its own king. The first concept that needs to be introduced is that of the key square, also known as a critical square. A key square is a square such that if White's king occupies it, White can force the pawn to promotion, regardless of where the black king is and regardless of which side is to move, and against any defense. The key squares are relative to the position of the pawn. Whether or not the white king can reach a key square depends on the position of the pieces. Of course, even if the white king occupies a key square, accurate play is still required in order to promote the pawn (Müller & Lamprecht 2007:20–22).

Note that the key square is in front of the pawn. Endgame expert Yuri Averbakh said, just as a father leads his child across the road rather than pushing the child in front, the king should also lead the pawn to the queening square.

Dots are key squares for a rook pawn. In addition, Black stops the pawn if the black king gets to any of the squares marked with "X".

A rook pawn (on the a-file or h-file) has much less chance of promoting than other pawns. The reason is that if the opposing king can get to any square in front of the pawn, it cannot be driven away from the file, and the pawn cannot queen. Black can always draw if he can reach the c8 square for an a-pawn (pawn on the a file) or the equivalent f8 for an h-pawn, except for the position in the next diagram, with White to move. Therefore, an advanced rook pawn generally has two key squares: b7 and b8 for an a-pawn, and g7 and g8 for an h-pawn. The key squares are indicated by the black dots in the position in the diagram on the right:

White to move wins because the pawn promotes after 1. h7

If White's king can reach either of the two key squares, he can keep Black's king away and the pawn will promote. If the Black king can reach any of the squares marked with a dot or an "X", it stops the pawn (Silman 2007:105–6).

The pawn can also promote in the position on the right (if White is to move), after

1. h7

However, in practice most of the time the black king can stop a rook pawn because it is usually close enough that the white king can not prevent it from getting in front of the pawn (or capturing it).

If Black was to move in this position, he would draw by reaching the f8 square and preventing the white king from getting to a key square, and the pawn cannot promote (Müller & Lamprecht 2007:22).

Dots indicate key squares for a pawn on the sixth and seventh ranks

Pawns other than rook pawns have a much better chance of promoting. If the pawn is on the second, third, or fourth rank, there are three key squares – the square two squares in front of the pawn and the squares to the left and right of that square. The key squares are indicated by the black dots, for example see the diagram on the left. If the pawn is on the fifth or sixth rank, there are six key squares: the square in front of the pawn and the squares to the left and right, as well as the square two squares in front of the pawn, and the squares to the left and right of it, see the diagram in the middle. When the pawn is on the seventh rank, the key squares are the squares on the seventh and eighth rank that touch the pawn's square (see the diagram on the right).

An easy way to remember the key squares is to note that if the pawn is not beyond the midpoint of the board, there are three key squares that are two ranks ahead. If the pawn is on the fifth or sixth rank there are six key squares on the two ranks in front of the pawn. If the pawn is on the seventh rank, the adjoining squares on the seventh and eighth ranks are key squares.

Once White's king occupies a key square he can keep the opposing king from blocking the advance of the pawn, as will be shown below (Müller & Lamprecht 2007:16–18).

White gets to a winning position by getting to the key square at b5

It is important that White wins if he gets his king to any key square and the path to a key square is not always direct. For instance, in the diagram on the right, the key squares for White are b5, c5, and d5. However, Black can prevent the white king from reaching a key square directly, e.g.:

1. Kd2 Ke7
2. Kd3 Kd7
3. Kc4 Kc6 (taking the opposition, see below).

However the white king can reach a key square (b5) by going on the other side of the pawn:

1. Kc2! Ke7
2. Kb3 Kd6
3. Kb4 Kc6
4. Kc4 (opposition, and Black is in zugzwang)
4...Kd6
5. Kb5

or

4... Kb6
5. Kd5

and the white king has occupied a key square and has a winning position (Müller & Lamprecht 2007:20).

White wins by simply marching to a key square via c5. Taking the opposition only draws.

The second concept needed is opposition – when two kings face each other with only one square in between, the side with the move may have to move the king away and allow the opposing king to advance. The other king has the opposition.

However, Averbakh pointed out that the opposition is a means to an end; the end is penetration to a key square. If you can penetrate without the opposition, then do so. In this diagram, White should seize a key square by playing:

1. Kc5

and moving to a key square on the next move (e.g. 1... Kd7 2. Kb6). Taking the opposition by 1. Ke4 draws (as do any other moves).

Exception to rule 1, White to move wins.

If the pawn is not a rook pawn some rules apply:

Rule 1: With one exception, if the black king can get to the square in front of the pawn or the square in front of that (which are key squares), he draws. The reason is that if the black king alternates between those two squares, he can keep the white king from getting to a key square. The exception is the position in the diagram, and only if White is to move because of

1. d7 Ke7 (Black was in zugzwang)
2. Kc7,

followed by

3. d8.

Otherwise, if the black king stays on one of those two squares, he keeps the white king from occupying a key square (Müller & Lamprecht 2007:16,21).

Rule 2: White wins if at least any two of the following conditions are met:

In positions in which fewer than two of the conditions are met, it may or may not be possible to get to a position meeting at least two of the conditions, depending on the position of the pieces and who is to move. In such positions, if the attacker can get to a position that meets two conditions, he wins. On the other hand, the defender may be able to prevent the attacker from getting to such a position (see #Defending drawn positions). Recall that rule 1 above gives a condition which draws for Black.

There are three cases to be considered. In any of these three cases, the white king is able to force his way onto a key square and thus reach a winning position. Accurate play from that position is still needed to win the game.

Case 1, conditions (b) and (c) are met

3. Kd7 (a key square)

followed by

4. e8,

and White wins (Müller & Lamprecht 2001:22).

This position illustrates an important rule of thumb: If the White king is on its sixth rank, the pawn must be advanced to the seventh rank without giving check (Müller & Lamprecht 2001:22). (If White's king is on the sixth rank and the pawn checks the Black king when it advances to the seventh rank, the black king can move in front of the pawn, resulting in a draw. In that case White has to either give up the pawn or move the king behind the pawn into stalemate.)

If it is White's move in this diagram,

1. Kf7 (a key square)

and Black cannot prevent the pawn from queening (Müller & Lamprecht 2001:22–23).

White must take a little more care with a knight pawn. If White moves 1. Kf6, Black can reply 1... Kh7 and White must back up with 2. Kf7 Kh8 and proceed as above, because 2. g6+? Kh8! 3. Kf7 is stalemate (Müller & Lamprecht 2001:22).

Of course, the ideal situation is when all three conditions are met. In this diagram, if Black is to move all three conditions are met and White wins easily:

1... Kd8
2. Kb7 and the pawn will promote (e.g. 2... Kd7 3.c6+ followed by 4. c7 and 5. c8).

If White is to move in this position, then conditions (a) and (c) are met, so White wins:

1. Kd6 Kd8
2. c6 Kc8
3. c7 Kb7
4. Kd7, etc, as above.

This emphasizes the importance of getting the king to the sixth rank in front of the pawn. If this configuration is achieved, White wins no matter which side is to move (Flear 2004:21).

For a rook pawn, it is possible for Black to draw even if all three conditions are met.

Defending drawn positions

Now consider defending positions when only one of the conditions of Rule 2 is met, which is not sufficient to win if the defender is able to prevent the attacker from getting a position that meets at least two of the conditions.

King in front of pawn, White to move draws

If the king is in front of the pawn and neither of the other two conditions is met, the defense is easy (Matanović 1982:19).

In this diagram, with White to move, Black's king is in front of the pawn, but it is not on its sixth rank and it does not have the opposition. White draws by

1. Kb2

taking the opposition and preventing the black king from getting the opposition or advancing to its sixth rank. (Indeed, this is the only move that draws. Sometimes this position is reached after Black has captured a pawn. To draw, White must be in a position to move his king to take this direct opposition.) Then if the black king steps to the side, White simply maintains the opposition:

1. ... Kc4
2. Kc2.

If the pawn now advances, White gets to a drawn position by moving in front of the pawn. (Recall that if the opposing king is on the square in front of the pawn or the square in front of that, the position is a draw, with one exception.)

In this diagram the black king is on its sixth rank, but with Black to move it does not have the opposition. If the Black king moves, the white king simply goes to d2 (best) or d1. If the pawn advances, the white king moves to d1 and a draw results as above (Matanović 1982:18).

A player should be familiar with both the attacking and defending roles, since a wrong move by the defender may allow the attacker to get to a winning position and a wrong move by the attacker may give up one of the conditions of rule 2, resulting in a draw.

In the game between Svetozar Gligorić and Bobby Fischer,[4] White can get his king in front of the pawn, but he does not have the opposition and is not on the sixth rank. Black must make sure that White does not get the opposition or get the king to the sixth rank:

1... Kb8!

Any move by Black to the seventh rank loses because White can take the opposition and reach a key square. (The move 1... Kd8 allows the white king to reach the key square a6.) After 1... Kb8, Black draws by taking the opposition if the white king advances, e.g. 2. Kc5 Kc7! draws or 2. Kb5 Kb7! draws (Matanović 1982:19, 21), (Fischer 2008:86).

Black to move, White wins by moving to a key square

With Black to move, White wins by first occupying a key square and then by getting two of the conditions above:

1... Kb5
2. Kd4 (key square) Kc6
3. Kc4 (opposition) Kb6
4. Kd5 (turning maneuver) Kc7
5. Kc5 (opposition) Kd7
6. Kb6

the white king is on the sixth rank (condition c) ahead of the pawn (condition a) and White can advance the pawn.

If White is to move, Black draws:

1. Kb3 Kb5 (opposition)
2. c4+ Kc5
3. Kc3 Kc6 (...Kd6 and ...Kb6 also draw)
4. Kd4 Kd6
5. c5+ Kd7
6. Kd5 Kc7
7. c6 Kc8! (if 7...Kd8 then 8. Kd6, taking the opposition, wins)
8. Kd6 Kd8!

and Black draws (Averbakh 1993:36–37).
