It could both reach the 8th rank and capture a Knight or Bishop with a direct head-on attack. Also, there is a possibility that the King can outflank a lone Knight or Bishop to reach the 8th rank. If left in its original position the whole time, the Bishop can not defend against such a move. Now, it is right next to the King, about to be captured. With the Knight, the King can move laterally one space out from the 8th rank during a head-on approach.
It can then move diagonally for the capture, or straight ahead to threaten the Knight from the side. Either way, the King has now reached the 8th rank. We all know that King only moves one square at a time. Therefore, it can not move directly next to the opposing King. This is an illegal move in chess. This type of scenario happens during the end game, and if you always experience losing with a King and pawn end game, you should start thinking of improving your end game chess skills.
You may be asking that there may be some advantages with having your King at the 8th rank. Well, I guess there is an advantage of moving your king to the other side of the board. Defensively, a King who reaches the 8th rank position is not as vulnerable to attack as in the middle of the board. If the King is in a middle 8th rank square, it is only exposed to attacks from five directions. If it is in a corner 8th rank square, it is only open to attack from three directions.
This, of course, does not include attacks from Knights. Not only that, a single pawn can only be promoted once though multiple pawns can be promoted multiple times.
On the other hand, if the King could actually bring back material from scratch in a process that is repeatable, without any limitations, then it breaks the point of it being called an endgame in the first place. This would ruin the play experience pretty bad during the endgame phase where players could potentially make this a priority, winning game after all is only sometimes separated by a pawn and anything extra would be enough for a conversion in the hands of a really good player.
On the other hand, a position where the king has no pieces left other than its own would not be an automatic defeat! Since the King itself would have the potential to bring back other pieces.
A winning position might as well be easily turned around by this rule neglecting the important aspects of the opening and middle game that makes one player more likely to win in the first place. A lot of theoretical wins and draws if the King really have such an overpowered ability such as this one. During my childhood I was constantly beaten by my friends, schoolmates, and family members.

I agree with the coach of your opponent. Knocking down a king by accident while not intending to resign does not mean one loses the game. For instance, when a player reaches to get a cup of tea and when doing so, accidentally knocks down his king, this does not mean he resigns, and the game should just continue as if nothing happened.
When a player knocks down his king intending to resign and afterwards see that his position is not bad and wants to continue however, then it is too late: he signified to resign and that is it. In a tournament, the tournament directors decide this: it is always the player mentioned first that goes first and hence plays white.
So, if the list of games to play says: Anna - Bob, then Anna has white and goes first, and Bob plays black and goes second. In other case, often one of the players takes two pawns: a white one and a black one.
In each of his hands, he has one of the pawns disclosed, and the other plays picks randomly a hand, and plays with the color of the pawn in the hand he has chosen. Miscellaneous What is the least number of moves a game of chess can be won in? Many questions have an answer that depends on what is meant with the question. First of all, one could say: zero. For instance, when the opponent doesn't show up for the game, or when he resigns before the game starts, then one wins the game of chess before any move is played.
If one means: what is the least number of moves before a game of chess is one by a mate, then: would a move of white following by a move of black be counted as one, or as two moves? Often, chess players count this as one: we say: at the 23rd move, I made a mistake, and then in total 45 or 46 moves have been played at that moment. So, I would say: two. The well known series of moves leading to a quick mate are: 1.
