Missing move in blocked pawns example?

edit

As far as I can see there is a move missing (between move 5 and 6) in the example in this section. The listed moves:

4. Kd5 Kc7
5. Ke6 The white king reaches a key square.
5.... Kc8
6. Kd8 Kb7

have whites king moving from e6 to d8 - which cannot be right. Could somebody double check the reference? Andreww (talk) 20:06, 6 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Wins with rook pawn

edit

In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_square#Rook_pawn, if the white king is on f6 or g6, the black king is on f8 and the white pawn is on h6, White to move wins by playing 1. h7. 202.86.32.122 (talk) 06:33, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
