EG 6 - DISTANT OPPOSITION:
This position is contrived to show the 'distant opposition'. The method is to not move the White King directly
forward but instead move sideways so that if the Black King moves forward. White can gain the ‘distant opposition’
or simply go and take the nearer Pawn. Such subtleties are what make chess endgames so interesting.

Press SET LEVEL key once or twice to select LEVEL GROUP II and then press square G6.
−
Press GO to exit the level mode.

the move for White.

EG 7 - QUEEN vs KING and KNIGHT PAWN:
This position is also derived from Fine's “Basic Chess Endings” (fig. 544). The method shows how the Queen is used
to check the opponent's King until the opponent's King blocks the advancement of the Pawn, at which point the other
King steps closer until finally mate is delivered. It should be noted that because of stalemate possibilities this method
does not work against a Pawn on the Rook or Bishop file on the 7th rank. Normally such positions will be drawn.
Setting the END GAME POSITION EG 7:
−
Press SET LEVEL key once or twice to select LEVEL GROUP II and then press square G7.

Press GO to exit the level mode.
