Prokeš — four pieces and the only path to a draw

Objective: White to move. Find the precise king maneuver that saves the draw.

Position and task condition

Pushing the passed pawn immediately looks tempting, but it allows Black to win the race. White must first exploit the position of both kings and gain exactly enough time to stop the h-pawn.

Theme: draw • tempo • rule of the square • king maneuver
