Pawn majority is a strategic advantage, where you have one more pawn than your opponent on one side of the chessboard (either queenside – queenside pawn majority, or kingside – kingside pawn majority). Often, queenside pawn majority is more advantageous because it can help you win endgames.

In this game, IM Asaf Givon achieved a kingside pawn majority very early in the opening and, after that, his practical endgame knowledge simply assured him the win. He did not make much effort, he did not calculate long variations; he simply played natural/easy moves and, eventually, his opponent lost without making any serious blunders – all this was possible because of the strong KNOWLEDGE that Asaf had about endgames.
