Thanks for the link! I also tried adding an "i" at the end and there comes the 2nd part!

Will defo go through them, any piece of instructive material is very valuable.
A more in depth & extensive tutorial would be of greater help however, I find a complete, coherent and deep presentation of a topic much more helpful than tutorials of smaller size, which aim at fitting a large volume of information into less space.
Dear Chess.com staff,
So far you have given us with some very informative and entertaining video tutorials.
I would be thankful in case you could consider a video series which will extensinsively cover the isolani & its descendants (hanging pawns). Moreover, since this is a deep subject, a series of videos which covers:
- attacking when having the isolani (think there are at least about 6-7 standard techniques here)
-defending when the opponent has the isolani
- isolani endgames.
- treatment of hanging pawns, when it is beneficial to make the transition to a hanging pawns position, hanging pawn endgames.
Having just lost a game due to lack of good understanding of isolani positions I am very keen to improve my chess in this area. I have read a few parts of the isolani literature (My System, Chess Praxis, annotated Botvinnik games, isolani chapter in "endgame strategy"), yet it seems to me that I have only (partly) digested the endgame handling.
While I have no doubt that there are non-professional players who have mastered these positions, I think most of us haven't and therefore a *series* of video tutorials, which goes into reasonable depth would be very beneficial and probably one of the best middlegames lessons we could have.
The reason I feel it should be a series, like 2 videos for attacking, 1-2 for defending, 1 for hanging pawns and 1 for endgame, is that the topic is quite complex and I think only an extended tutorial would allow the audience to digest the ideas.
Best regards & I hope you could consider this kind request,
