Pawn Structure University is a group for those interested in studying the strengths and weaknesses of various pawn structures. To paraphrase Marovic: "Chess owes its extraordinary strategic depth to pawns. These humble pieces can take on many roles in the chess struggle. They can be blockers, battering rams, self-sacrificing heroes, and can even be promoted to the ranks of royalty. On the other hand, if mishandled, they can be weak and provide targets for enemy attack. " We participate in pawn structure study groups and analyze games with an eye toward pawn structure attributes.
