Wake the King

Part of the The King and the Pawn section of Coddy's Endgames journey. Lesson 5 of 26.

In the opening the king hides. In the ending he fights: with the queens gone nothing can catch him in the open, so he walks to the centre, toward the pawns, and counts as a piece worth about four of them. Every step should be toward the action. Wake him first.
