{ Rook Pawn Exception Part 2.|This king and pawn endgame lesson
demonstrates another rook-pawn exception.|If black were on the move, then
he could win by simply moving Kg5 or Kg4 out of the way of his pawn and in
the way of white's king.|White can draw by seizing the opposition and
forcing black's king to remain on the h-file in the way of black's own pawn. } 1. Kf5 { The only drawing move. } 1... Kh4 2. Kf4 h5 3. Kf3 { White moves to control
or occupy the h1 promotion square. } 3... Kh3 4. Kf2 Kh2 { Black stops white from
moving toward h1. } 5. Kf1 h4 6. Kf2 h3 7. Kf1 { Now if black gets out of the
way of his advancing pawn, then white will rush in to control the h1
promotion square resulting in a draw. } 7... Kh1 8. Kf2 h2 9. Kf1 { Stalemate draw. } *
