Theory/Knight vs Rook Pawn

Knight vs Rook Pawn

Black's h-pawn is on the sixth rank and your king is too far away to help, so the knight must hold alone. The rule: if the knight cannot stand in front of the pawn, put it on the circuit g4, e3, f1, h2. Each time his king attacks it, jump to the next square of the circuit, and the king can never drive it away.
