The Essence of Chess Strategy Volume 2 : Pawn Structures

Volume 2 is divided into eight chapters. Unlike Volume 1, it is possibleto mix the order in which you study these chapters , but not to study the gameswithin each chapter out of order, since the examples build upon each other incomplexity. I suggest that the chapter on "Passed Pawns" should be studiedfirst, because many of the various middlegame structures can ultimately giverise to a passed pawn in the endgame. Work carefully through these examples,because masters use pawn structures even in the opening to predict the propertiesof endgames which can potentially arise - this is a widely neglected aspect andcan be a strong weapon for you!
