Square Rule (pawn - starting position)
Glossary
Pawn in the starting position.
- Kd2 — It may seem that the white king is within the square of the pawn and can easily catch it. But the square is actually smaller.
- g4 — A pawn from its starting position can move two squares, and it exits the square, and the black king cannot catch the pawn, as it ends up outside the square.
- Ke3
- g5
- Kf4
- g6 — The pawn cannot be caught. Black is losing.
