Improving Middlegame Position #2: Doubled Pawns

For improvers like me, it's remarkable how one pawn move can springboard a short-term plan. In my previous post on the middlegame, I showed how I improved a doubled pawn and solved potential problems. This line in the Open Spanish inspired that pattern.

There is no need to fear doubled pawns in the opening, especially if you can bring harmony to the position a few moves later.

Welcome to my blog.

I'm an adult improver, and I write about chess technique, tricks, and having strategic intent. My primary audience is the non-expert or even a newcomer to chess who is looking for practical advice, exercises, and clues to improve at the game. 

 

I've spent most of my life reading and being a fan of the game. I've seen it change so much since my childhood, and I love working with younger kids who are just getting started.
