Loved it, even though I could only solve it through move 7. Thanks, Phil!

How is this a draw?  King + Pawn = win.

Sorry to disappoint you, but King + Pawn v King is not always a win.

Lets use the position where we left off to demonstrate how the defending side will get a draw in this sort of situation.
