you cant be afraid to use your pawns, and you have to protect them all you can. Like you said, in the endgame, pawns will be very important, and every pawn matters. Also, if the opponent has free pawns, it is always good to take them. This is my non-helpful-but-trying-to-be-helpful-response to your question.

Hey guys,
I am a chess beginner and I notice that everytime the endgame turns into a pawn marathon, I have considerably less pawns, like 2 vs 5. This also means that I end up losing because the opponent can easily exchange a pawn for a queen. How do I make sure that during the matches I play I end up not falling behind on pawns? I feel like latching onto them too dearly in the game will end up with me losing as well because I am too afraid to use my pawns. Any ideas? Thanks!
