Pawn Structure Chess
by Andrew Soltis
On This Page
Description
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.

I think I forgot all but the last page of the book by the time I closed the back cover. There's just so much material here, I think this one will take a few more readings to really sink in. Just an amazing book.
es muy agradable para aprender a hacer movimientos muy limitados
