  LESSON We learned how to stop a pawn from queening (K vs K & P)   1. Get your king in the "safety zone"   2. When you have to leave the "safety zone" step into the square of opposition. We learned how to queen a pawn (K and P vs K)   1. Get your king in front of your pawn   2. Move your king into the square of opposition   3. Get your King to the 6th rank. If you can achieve 2 of the three goals listed above, you can queen your pawn, If you advance your pawn to the 7th rank with check, it will result in a stalemate. If you advance your pawn to the 7th rank without check, you will win, RATINGS Cavan   990 Q       869 Simon   755 Thomas  605 Alex    562 Sky     363 Paradis 296 Teddy   280 Kellan  267 Jack    265 Liam    225 Oliver  197
