Here is the puzzle: lichess.org/training/queenRookEndgame/f4jdR.
I never know where I should be moving my king in situations like that. I remember puzzles where the king is beeing attacked by a queen or a rook in line two or seven. In that case bringing the king to the corner in line one or eight seems to be the best move most of the times.
But is there a generel rule in the case of this puzzle above, something like a generel pattern I could learn and follow? Or maybe there is some way to evalute the right spot for the king?
In the puzzle above I would think that Kd6 and Kc6 make sense. Kc8 would be possible too, maybe. Since the other two options hang the rook, they do not make sense.
Thanks for your time!
