When the pawn is on the seventh rank, the key squares are the squares on the seventh and eighth rank that touch the pawn's square (see the diagram on the right). 2686: 2679: 2672: 2406: 2399: 2182: 2175: 2168: 1914: 1907: 1900: 1886: 1879: 1872: 1865: 1858: 1851: 1837: 1830: 1823: 1569: 1562: 1555: 1541: 1534: 1527: 1520: 1506: 1302: 1295: 1288: 904: 890: 883: 876: 869: 862: 855: 848: 841: 834: 827: 662: 655: 648: 641: 634: 627: 620: 613: 606: 441: 434: 427: 420: 413: 406: 194: 173: 1921: 1816: 1089: 208: 201: 187: 180: 166: 2700: 2693: 2665: 2462: 2455: 2448: 2441: 2434: 2427: 2420: 2413: 2196: 2189: 2161: 2154: 2147: 1928: 1893: 1844: 1809: 1576: 1548: 1513: 1499: 1316: 1309: 1281: 1103: 1096: 1082: 911: 897: 676: 669: 455: 448: 222: 215: 2659: 2393: 2141: 1803: 1493: 1275: 1076: 821: 600: 400: 160: 38: 31: 24: 4913: 1688:), the key squares for a player's king extend for three files on either side of the opponent's pawn. In this position, the first king to reach one of his key squares will win the opponent's pawn and protect his own.

An easy way to remember the key squares is to note that if the pawn is not beyond the midpoint of the board, there are three key squares that are two ranks ahead. If the pawn is on the fifth or sixth rank there are six key squares on the two ranks in front of the pawn. If the pawn is on the seventh

In an endgame with a king and pawn versus a king, the key squares are relative to the position of the pawn. Assume that White has the pawn. If the white king can occupy a key square, he can force the promotion of the pawn but accurate play is required. Whether or not the white king can reach a key
