In a king and pawn endgame…
King on the 6th rank, pawn on the 5th rank (not on the a or h file) wins regardless of whose turn it is to move. The king on the 6th rank uses the opposition to push the opposing king aside.
4k3/8/4K3/4P3/8/8/8/8 w - - 0 1
The white pawn will promote.
The black king can stop the white pawn if the pawn is on the a or h file.
I work as a Software Architect at an insurance company. We're building a modern tech stack in the cloud using C#, Azure, ASP.NET Core, Angular, TypeScript, etc.
I've always been interested in chess (a game of complete information) and poker (a game of incomplete information). This is my attempt to write chess-playing software. I'll get to poker later.
