A [[Distance|Chebyshev Distancedistance]] of at least four to the [[Promotion Square|promotion square]] with a [[Manhattan-Distance|Manhattan distance]] less than eight for the attacking king is necessary to win that game (<span style="background-color: #c0ffc0;">green area below</span>).While implementing this pattern inside a However, there are positions where the attacking king may reduce the distance due to [[Interior Node RecognizerDiscovered Check|interior node recognizerdiscovered check]], one has to take care that with the king in the corner (i.e. black king on a1), the queen has no mate in one (i.e. on c1).

A similar draw motive occurs here with [[stalemateStalemate|stalemate]] after the queen captured the bishop pawn. The <span style="background-color: #c0ffc0;">winning area </span> of the attacking king requires a bit more calculationis depending whether the defending king resides on the [[Pawn Spans|lee-side]] or [[Pawn Spans|luff-side]] . Critical squares for <span id="Lee"></span>==Lee case==The defending king on the [[DistancePawn Spans|lee-side]] is able to threaten [[Stalemate|Chebyshev Distancestalemate]] in the corner. Critical squares are on the same rank neighbouring square on the [[Pawn Spans|luff-side two squares apart ]] (i.e. for black pawn on c2, [[Distance|&#977;(&#9812;,e2)]]d2),and the diagonal neighbouring square on the lee-side one rank back (i.e. for black pawn on c2, b3). Only if the attacking king can reach these squares in one move, it can assist in a [[Checkmate|checkmate]] with the queen - otherwise it is a draw - except the rare cases the attacking king may reduce the [[Distance|&#977;(&#9812;Chebyshev distance]] accordantly,b3)giving [[Discovered Check|discovered check]]). <ref>Lee-case implemented as [[Interior Node Recognizer]] implemented in [[IsiChess]]</ref>* With a <span style="background-color: #c0ffc0;">distance below two</span> to any of these critical squares, the game is won. * A <span style="background-color: #cc80cc;">distance of two</span> to any of these critical squares is not sufficient, if the defending king occupies the corner square (i.e. a1), or the 7th/8th (1st/2nd) rank on the neighbouring knight file (i.e. b1, b2).* A distance of two is required to win the game otherwise
