Power Play 5 - Pawns
You might be a brilliant tactician or a fearsome
attacker, but you won’t always be able to apply these skills when you play. If a
game takes on a quieter nature, it is crucial that you develop an understanding
of pawn structures, pawn play and pawn weaknesses. In this fifth Power Play DVD,
Daniel King discusses strong and weak pawn structures, isolated pawns and pawn
islands, how to create pawn weaknesses, how to cramp a pawn structure, the power
of centre pawns…and much more. Remember, weak pawns can decide the game. At the
end of the DVD you can test your understanding of pawn play and pawn structures
by examining a series of specially selected test positions. The Power Play
series is suitable for anyone looking to improve their chess, but also provides
ready-made lessons and exercises for a trainer. Francois André Danican Philidor:
