Hanging pawns possess strengths and weaknesses. The elements of strength include the possibility of opening files through their advance and with this comes an increase in space, and the possibility of controlling key squares that can be used as outposts for Knights and Bishops. On the other hand they can also be weak. They can only be defended by pieces. This vulnerability can be exploited by attacking them with pieces, forcing the opponent to protect them with pieces. The defending pieces can then be attacked and exchanged at a suitable moment and this can often result in the win of a pawn or forcing another pawn weakness elsewhere. They can also be weakened by forcing the advance of one of them leaving the other one backward and a hole into which a piece can be placed. A third way of exploiting their weakness is to attack them with a pawn of your own, this can force a pawn exchange that results in an isolated pawn. The current view is that hanging pawns are weak if their side is behind in development but strong if their side is ahead in development. These games illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of the hanging pawns 31 games, 1873-1998 IQP loses 16 games, 1886-2016 IQP Wins. 33 games, 1895-2010 kingscrusher's favorite games test 3 games, 2005-2007 kingscrusher's favorite Kramnik games My favourite game of Vladimir Kramnik for 2018 so far in the Berlin defence of all openings! 1 game, 2018 Michael Adams greatest games Michael Adams greatest games 1 game, 2016 Passed Pawns 193 games, 1834-2017 PAWN STRUCTURE PAWN STRUCTURE (Isolani, Backward,...) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolat... http://schackonline.com/wiki/index.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pawn_s...
