This has to be one of the coolest endgame positions I have ever had in one of my games, just for the pure hilarity of it all. Here is a small puzzle from an online chess game, try not to make a single move until you understand the way the whole puzzle will unravel, as it's much funner that way. Once you get the idea you're good to go.

I don't get it. What's the puzzle? This is just standard endgame procedure.

The king is completely trapped, so it can't stop the pawn, and it will take the rook many moves to get out of the box it is in to stop the pawn too. I just thought it was funny :p
