Pawn
Structure Chess (McKay Chess Library)
by GM Andrew Soltis
Book Synopsis
In the game of chess, pawns are usually considered weak because of
their limited range of movement. Understanding how pawns affect strategy
is the subject of this important book. Here, players learn characteristic
pawn structure; how to recognize strengths and weaknesses of pawn chains;
when to exchange pawns in the center--and when not to; how to create and
exploit pawn "holes", and much more. |

Pawn
Power in Chess by Hans Kmoch
A reader from Austin, Texas USA , May 21, 1999
Profound treatment of under appreciated aspect of the game.
Very clear presentation of the elements of pawn play in all aspects of the
game. Excellent, clear examples from real games with insightful analysis
but without the dozens of variations that make for dense print,heavy
reading and constant resetting of the pieces. Individual chapters on pawns
and knights, pawns and bishops, pawns and rooks, as well as treatment of
good and bad bishops, knights vs bishops, etc. Great illustrative game
excerpts with just the subject pieces and also in combination with other
pieces.... |

Clear explanation of isolated and hanging pawns
excellent review of the tactics occassioned by isolated and hanging pawn
structure, for example the d5 push the f7 sac etc. Perhaps better than
Pachman's or Euwe's work on same subject. |
