NM Dan Heisman shows the technique to win a king and 5 pawn endgame vs king and 4 pawns. This technique can be used in many straightforward king and pawn endgames where both sides have several pawns and one side is ahead a pawn. If you can win this, you can win many K&P endgames up a pawn. Once you learn the general technique, you can practice this endgame against a friend or strong computer.
