Most players are aware of the philidor position and the simple zugzwang triangulation of the queen to force the king off the back rank and then fork the rook...etc, but there are stalemate tricks that I am not certain have been mentioned (although this isn't really a philidor position to start with) and in blitz games it is easy to fall for this tactic.
