Train/Outflanking From Behind the Pawn

Outflanking From Behind the Pawn

Your king stands behind the pawn and the enemy king blocks the road straight ahead. Shoving him back does nothing here: one rank lower, that very push runs into a knight underpromotion and only draws. The winning idea is to go around. Outflank the blockader and meet the pawn from in front.
