Pawn Majority on the Queenside example: Botvinnik - Kmoch 1934

Annotations are an abbreviated version of those written by Max Euwe

Euwe's conclusion of this game is:

"White owed his success to his pawn majority on the Q side, but, be it noted, he had to work for it. He had many opportunities of going wrong, and on several occasions he had to find just the right move to withstand Black's K-side attack. He had to time with precision the moves preparatory to his Q-side advance, without which the advance of his Q-side pawns would have been premature.

And that is the normal course of operations which can be summarised as follows:

1. Assess and analyse your opponent's counter-chances.

2. Thoroughly prepare your own action"
