Hanging Pawn Structures

Recently, we published the lesson “Power of Pawn Storm” for you (if you missed that, check it now: LINK), and I hope you enjoyed it and won a few games by implementing those ideas. If that’s the case, then accept my congratulations – way to go! 

As the great Philidor quotes, “Pawns are the soul of CHESS!“ Pawns play a major role in chess. They are the skeleton of a chess game. If one bone is broken, the entire game will collapse.

Now let us discuss the “Hanging Pawn Structure” (HPS). Before you start thinking about that, let me ask you a question: What is a HPS?

How to handle opposite side castling?

While playing a game, the most important measure to protect your king iscastling. There are certain situations where we castle on the opposite side to our opponent’s king.

There are quite a lot of openings that often lead to opposite side castling situations. For instance, the Sicilian Defense, Pirc and French defense.

Now, here is a question for you – have you ever faced opposite side castling situations in your own games? Were you successful at it all the time?

Answering “Yes!” to the above question is not that easy! Because it is difficult to be successful at one thing always, unless you’re very well experienced with it and have 100% knowledge of it.

Gambit Rules Part-2 and survey

Firstly, let me and the Remote Chess Academy team wish you a very happy andprosperous New Year!  May each day be vibrant and successful for you.

The New Year is always a great time to improve yourself. You should not repeat the mistakes you’ve made over the last year and you need to learn something new this year for your success. This is not only in chess but also in life.  Good luck!
