Catch It
Part of the The King and the Pawn section of Coddy's Endgames journey. Lesson 16 of 26.
Inside the square the catch is arithmetic: walk toward the queening square, on the diagonal when you can, never sideways, and meet the pawn at the door. Every straight road works. Outside the square no road does - so the first step must take you in. Count once, then walk.
