King Opposition

A key endgame technique is the opposition. This is when the two kings oppose each other one square between them. Whichever side has the move has a disadvantage because the king must move out of the way. Often the opposition is the difference between winning or drawing a king and pawn ending. In a king and pawn against king ending the opposition is a key technique for the attacker. If the king reaches a square ahead of the pawn on the sixth, seventh or eight rank, the position is winning.
