You must get the opposition to win this as white!

- This position is a good lesson in how to understand the importance of position when exchanging down to a king + pawn against king endgame.
Can you find how white has to play to get this vital advantage?

Black Ka8 is a great move, I missed it.
I'm not very good yet at endgames like this and the concept of opposition still tricks me from time to time. That said, I have a question-
Nice++, thanks.
i never considered the possibility of a stalemate trick! I calculated Ka4 and thought it was winning. Didn't calculate Kc4. When you then asked why Kc4 didn't work, I was completely stumped. Ka8 was very mindblowing
When i was looking at this, i thought "okay, Kc4 wins, but then why doesn't Ka4 also win?"
But you didn't explain why moving the pawn two times in a raw wouldn't work.
I solve puzzles like this by randomly exploring all possible moves (which takes a lot of time).
I do my best. And if I pick the FIRST move right, I consider it a victory. Oh well... Not this time.

Yep, Ka4 and Kc4 looked so much the same ....
