Pawn Mastery: Chess Pawn Structure & Endgame Cheat Sheets + 2,057 Puzzles (Printable and Interactive PDF)

Know exactly what to do with your pawns in the opening, the middlegame and the endgame. 39 step-by-step chess cheat sheets (57 pages) that explain pawn structures, pawn breaks, passed pawns and pawn endgames in plain English, plus a free bonus puzzle book with 2,057 pawn puzzles to put it all into practice. Sound familiar? The opening goes fine. Then the position locks up and you are not sure which pawn to push, which break to prepare or where your pieces belong. You make a "sensible" move, the structure gets worse, and ten moves later you are defending a position you never really understood. Or you win a pawn, trade down into a king and pawn ending, and lose it by a single tempo. It is not that you cannot calculate. It is that nobody showed you the pawn patterns that decide these positions. Pawns cannot move backwards, so every pawn move changes the game for good. Strong players know the plan that goes with each pawn structure before the middlegame even starts. Now you can too. What you get: 39 cheat sheets in four sets 9 Key Principles sheets, one for every chapter: pawn basics, en passant and promotion, pawn chains, pawn structures, pawn breaks, pawns in the opening, passed pawns, pawn races and pawn endgames 16 Pawn Structure sheets: the Isolated Queen's Pawn, Hanging Pawns, Carlsbad, Maroczy Bind, Hedgehog, French Advance, King's Indian locked center, Stonewall, Scheveningen, Dragon, Closed Ruy Lopez, Modern Benoni, Benko Gambit, Grünfeld center, Nimzo-Indian doubled pawns and the Boleslavsky Hole. Each one shows how the structure arises, the plans for both sides, the key pawn breaks and a one-line summary to remember 6 Pawn Checklists: run through them before you push a pawn, play a break, create or push a passed pawn, start a pawn race, enter a pawn endgame or move a pawn in the opening 8 Endgame Technique sheets: the Lucena Position, the Philidor Position, the opposition, key squares and the rule of the square, triangulation and spare tempi, pawn breakthroughs, the outside passed pawn, and rook pawns and drawing tricks You also get a glossary of pawn terms and a Test Yourself quiz with answers, so you can check what has sunk in.
