Solution:
When you take a walk you should know where you’re going. White does just that. Black has to tag along to prevent the White rook from checking and then having the pawn promote. However the walk has a purpose. Watch: 1.Kf4 Kf2 2.Ke4 Ke2 [2...Ra4+ 3.Kd5 Ra5+ 4.Kc4 Ra4+ 5.Kb5 Ra3 6.Rf8+] 3.Kd4 Kd2 4.Kc5 Kc3 5.Rc8 Rxa7 6.Kb6+
