    This is pretty well-known but it's good to know how to play it. White to play and win.

    It is not so easy to think of promoting to Rook, not Queen.

    I think its purpose is to avoid stalemate.

    chaporoning the pawn only achieves a draw simply because black can trade his rook for your pawn. the reason this position is so famous is because it demonstrates how to win when the obvious conclusion would be a draw but there was a hidden nuance in stopping black from trading rook for pawn so you can safely promote and win.
