What I Have Learned
Chess Strategy 3.0 Course
Isolated Queen Pawn
Playing methods with an isolated pawn
— When playing with an isolated pawn, its often an idea to make a breakthrough just
moving it forward to get dynamic possibilities for your pieces.
— The attack on the King side is effective with the support of a Night on e5. There are
2 varieties of this attack: piece attack, often with an attached Rook on the 3rd rank, and
piece and pawn attack with the participation of the f-pawn.
— Progress of an isolated pawn with the aim of fixing the opponents pawn on the next
file.
— Use of an open c-file. The party which has an isolated pawn, as a rule, chooses the
center and King side as their field of active operations. However, sometimes active
operations on the Queen side are also possible with the use of the open c-file.
Time Spent: 16 minutes and 45 seconds.
