Train/The Frontal Defence

The Frontal Defence

You are the defender. Here your king can still get behind the enemy king with 1...Kd5, but that route is not always there in time, so learn the second escape route too: run in front of the pawn. The bishops are dark, and g8 is a light square right beside the promotion square, and a king that reaches g8 can never be evicted.
