Theory/Take the Opposition to Hold the Draw

Take the Opposition to Hold the Draw

You have only your king against king and pawn, and you can hold the draw. Keep his king off the key squares in front of the pawn. The rule: when his king steps up, put yours right in front of it with one square between, so that he is the one who has to move. That is the opposition.
