The Isolated Queen’s Pawn and The Passed Pawn
In this second part the emphasis will be on typical pawn structures that appear quite often in games, and that will be very recognizable for clubchess players.
For example, on this video course the topics “the isolated queen pawn (IQP)” and “the passed-pawn in the middlegame” will be discussed in detail.
Because the IQP can appear on the board in many opening variations, it is worthwhile to study. The fact that sometimes a passed-pawn can be invaluable and can cause an astonishing effect will be music to the ears of the club-chess player.
