Topics include pawn majorities, the outside passed pawn, the minority attack, hanging pawns, and the Bayonet Attack. It is expected that students completing this class will better understand the relationship between pawns and pieces and be able to formulate and execute long-term strategic plans. Upon completion, students’ chess knowledge should correspond to a US Chess over-the-board rating of 1400+. PLEASE NOTE: This is a series of classes.
