ChessLESSON 12 OF 12 · Endgame basics
Let the kings do the work
In king-and-pawn endings, your king is an active piece. Opposition describes kings facing one another with a single square between them, making the side to move give ground.
A useful habit
Bring your king forward while leaving the enemy king no easy path.
Your move
You are Black. Step from e7 to d7; the kings may never stand next to one another.
