Strategies with Hanging Pawns

Dear Chess Friends,

Hanging pawns are often seen as a weakness—but in the right hands, they can become a powerful asset. In this video, we’ll focus on the strengths of hanging pawns and how to use them actively. Through two instructive games, you’ll see how this structure can lead to central control, dynamic play, and even direct attacks. Let’s unlock their true potential.

Hi

Hi

Hi coach

Hi

Wow...I never thought hanging pawns could be an advantage. Thanks coach

No, hanging pawns are not poisoned pawns. Watch the video and you'll understand.

Yes, they could definitely be an advantage. You're welcome.

No, "hanging pawns" is a very serious middlegame topic.

That's why this topic is not for beginners. I don't think that you should use the "For beginners" section for these advanced ideas, Gábor.

Dear Magipi,

Since there is not a category named "For Advanced Players", I posted it in this forum. Moreover, I think it's useful to know about this topic even for a beginner, it improves his/her chess culture. On the other hand, I talk about famous games from World Champions in the video which can also be interesting for a beginner.

Thank you, coach
