What You Should Know About Isolated Pawns

We get positions with isolated pawns a lot. It is very important to know how to play with and against, an isolated pawn. In this video, I explain how you should play with and against an Isolated pawn. I do this by showing a game that the world champion played, and show how his opponent could have played better. In the game that I show Magnus demonstrated that an IQP can be good.

Here I show another example of white playing against an isolated pawn. In this example, black did nothing wrong, he played completely logical moves. This example shows how hard it can be to defend an isolated pawn.
