Pawn analysis

Pawn analysis is a way of evaluating a chess position by examining the pawns, which are often the foundation of strategic plans. It involves assessing pawn structure, formation, and potential weaknesses, such as isolated or doubled pawns, to understand position strength and vulnerabilities. This analysis helps players predict how the game might unfold, identify tactical opportunities, and decide on optimal moves. Essentially, pawn analysis provides insight into the long-term stability and spatial control of a position, guiding strategic decision-making beyond immediate tactics.
