I played a standard chess game as white with time controls set at 15 minutes with a 2 second increment. The opening played was the Slav Defense, Modern. Play begins quietly, but soon turns somewhat principled and direct up until nearly move 20. What is desirable for each side in an isolated pawn position? To trade or not to trade? Is there a specific trade that is more than likely favor the side playing against the isolate pawn?

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who learned how to play from my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
