About this book
Pawn structure supplies the starting point for Edward Lasker's lessons in planning a chess game. This instructional handbook moves from rules and notation to development, the centre, endings and the middle game, using general principles to explain the purpose behind individual moves. Translated by J. du Mont, it addresses players who want to strengthen their judgment through study of positions and annotated games.
The discussion follows the lasting effects of pawn advances: a weakness near the king may invite an attack, while an exposed pawn on the other wing may matter most in an ending. Diagrams and tournament examples show how open files give rooks room to work and how small losses of time can restrict an opponent's choices.
