This game provides instruction on how to play against hanging pawns. Black initiates this position with 17...c5. White accepts and the hanging pawns soon appear, to pressure them with 19.Bf3 and 20.Rhd1. 21.Ke1, just gets the king out of the way. 22.c3 protects, as the rook attacks, but it also completes the blockade. Black's 22...a5 is an attempt to break the blockade and we're treated to a wonderful knight maneuver that stops this queenside counter and forces the loss of one of the pawns, 25...c4. And soon the other one is up for grabs!

That's how it's done!
