Improving your understanding of pawn structures will help you in any chess opening. IM Danny Kopec does an excellent job of examining similarities and imbalances in pawn structures in the chess DVD ¨Pawn Structures – How to Play Them¨ – dissecting this critical concept and explaining it for a target audience of beginner and intermediate chess players. In the below chess video excerpt, viewers will learn about the importance of ¨levers¨ as well as other factors that affect pawn centers.
