FORGIVE THE QUESTION BUT IF ONE MOVES THE KING TO THE SAME POSITION 3 TIMES- DOESN'T THAT MAKE IT A DRAW - SO WHY WOULD THE BLACK KING  SUFFER A LOSS RATHER THAN TAKE A DRAW FOR THE GAME BY MOVING THE PAWN INSTEAD OF THE KING

nice bouldering problem... risky business if black converts the pawn Cool

In the time that white spent dancing his knight around to get position correct, black could have advanced the pawn and threatened the stalemate. stupid puzzle....
