I should have said, your turn to make a legal move.

I stirred up controversy

This is distant opposition.

And the number of squares between both kings is even so the side that moves has the opposition.

So, I think you messed up your moves somewhere, I remember reading this from an endgame book in spanish (just about distant oposition) and this exercise is from Silman´s endgame course (I believe), but I cant see how this exercise is valuable for practical chess.
