    Hi All,

    I am currently reading Alexander Baburin's "Winning Pawn Structures", which I am finding a very enjoyable read. But it only covers the isolani, so I was wondering if any of you out there had knowledge of other books on pawn structures that are worth a read?

    I thank you in advance!

    Hi

    Take a look at

    Understanding Pawn Play In Chess and Dynamic Pawn Play In Chess by Marovi.

    The first one is split up in chapters with isolated pawns, isolated pawn couples and hanging pawns, passed pawns, doubled pawns, backward pawns, pawn-chains and pawn islands, providing a lot of good games to learn from.

    Dynamic is split up in chapters with the open centre, closed centre, pawn majorities and minoritiy attacks and dynamic centre.

    Another related book is Pawn Structure Chess by Soltis. This book is more about planning is the different structures that you see in different openings.
    The best example what this book is about, you can see in the nice example by
