The Pawn structures

Though, pawns are the weakest pieces, they often determine the progress of the game and its outcomes. If one side has advantage of two or three pawns, more often than not, this advantage is sufficient to win. Situation is more complex when the number of pawns is same. Then the position evaluation is largely determined by the location of Pawns.
Before the game starts, the opponent pawns are lined up on the original square. While advancing forward, they support each other and restrict the mobility of opponent’s Pieces. Experienced chess player, often make material sacrifices, in order to a mobile, flexible line of Pawns protecting each other.
