How should white move in order to promote?

e4 isnt a draw for white i dont think lol You go king e4 and then you shoulder the king to transport the pawn lol You know you can click on analysis? If it were blacks move itd be a draw because white cant get the opposition and cant get in front of the pawn. Just use an engine. Its not a draw for white, like it says on the side.

Type pawn and king endgames or opposition in youtube and watch a video that explains this position :) this is one of the basic things that every chess player should know

The title seems to be a bit weird.

Best move for Black after Ke4 is 1-0.

This is called opposition.

a question or a statement? if its a question, after Ke4, black has to move aside. this is a basic endgame thing

 if it is whites turn, the position is drawn because if king to the side, the black king moves to block the white king over and over again. if it is blacks turn, white is winning because once the black king moves aside, for example Kd6, then Kf5. Ke7 by black trying to block whites advance, then Ke5. in the end, white manages to push all the way and does not stalemate. its called opposition and its a very basic and useful thing to know for all chess players. remember that the king should go before the pawn, because that uses sholdering (Kd6, Kf5, Ke7 Ke5) to get the pawn through. if the pawn goes before the king or is on the same rank as it, the pawn ends up pinning the black king down, and the white king has to protect his final pawn, so it ends up like this

After 1.Ke4 Black must stop the white king reaching one of the critical squares d5,e5 or f5 when white is winning easily.

The only move that achieves this is 1...{I pass}, but unfortunately this is not a legal move.

I got this wrong so many times on puzzles in the past. I understand this so much better now.

1. Resign or 2. Don't get too far from the pawn. Your opponent might mess up and you should take the chance.

Opposition wins
