Chess Endgame Puzzle: Opposition in a King and Pawn Ending

Objective: Find the winning plan in this king-and-pawn versus king endgame. Take control of the key squares and guide the pawn to promotion.

Position and task condition

White has only one pawn, so every king move matters. Do not rush the pawn forward — first work out how to restrict the black king and take the squares needed for a safe promotion.
