Pawns on the other hand can never move backwards, making pawn moves truly permanent decisions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis irreversibility makes Pawn Play among the most difficult aspects of chess strategy which is one reason few books have been written about this topic – and some that have are almost incomprehensible. Double Olympiad gold medallist Sam Shankland has gone the other way – breaking down the principles of Pawn Play to basic easily understandable guidelines every chess player should know. Shankland starts with extremely simple examples but then lifts the level illustrating the universality of the book’s guidelines by showing how grandmasters could have made better decisions by using them.","brand":"Quality Chess UK Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48797910696191,"sku":"9781784830519","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781784830519-us-300.jpg?v=1783362443","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781784830519","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
