Theory/Distant Opposition and Outflanking

Distant Opposition and Outflanking

The d-pawns are locked, so the kings fight alone. Your king has to get around his to attack the d6 pawn, and the fight is on the f-file. The rule: when his king stands on the f-file, oppose it there with an odd number of squares between the kings; when it steps off to one side, step forward on the other side.
