About this episode:
Today we look at the Hanging Pawns, which occur when one side has pawns on the c and d files, but none on the neighboring files. This interesting structure leads to a position where one side has dynamic and spatial advantages, while the other has long-term targets! It is a fascinating structure which defines a whole variety of d4-c4 based openings! We will learn all about it in 15 Minutes!
About this masterclass:
Pawn structures are a crucial aspect of chess middlegames that every aspiring player should master. As the name suggests, these are the unique ways in which your pawns are structured. Why should you learn about different pawn structures? Simple. To make an effective plan. Your pieces are flexible, and can move around in order to aid in a middlegame plan. But, your pawns are static, and moving them can come with great risk. So, you need to learn how to play with your pawns, to form a plan, rather than move your pawns to help with a plan. This is where this masterclass can help. We look at 7 important pawn structures in chess - The Hanging Pawns, Isolated Pawn, Backwards Pawn, Doubled Pawn, Maróczy Bind, Carlsbad Structure, and the Closed Sicilian. These 7 pawn structures will teach you all you need to know to navigate a wide variety of pawn structures in chess. Each will teach you about a different aspect, and together, you will be able to create plans on both sides of practically every middlegame position!
