Pawn Structure Chess by Andrew Soltis. Not the easiest book on chess, but probably the most accessble of the "pawn structure" genre. There are many reasons to want to upgrade to Diamond, but if you really want to approach chess from a pawn structure theme, IM Danny Rensch has a long running video series on same that alone is probably worth the $100.
Looking for a good book on Pawn structure
Sort:
Hi everyone, I'm a 47-year old beginning-again beginner. I was interested in high school back in the early 1980s but couldn't stay involved in the chess club and fell out of it altogether. Now I want to start all over again and learn the game right.
Since the little buggers confuse me, I was thinking about working on trying to understand pawn structure for the next few months. Does anyone have any good suggestions for in-print books that can drive concepts home through a skull of granite?
