Hi. Was playing white and played against someone who manage to build this pawn wall. Any idea on the next steps? Cos I was totally lost on which piece to move since the 5th rank is all covered by the pawns. Thanks

Maybe you could advance all your pawns and do the same thing?  Smile

Something to protect your trapped knight seem necessary. Maybe move b2-b3 or c3-c4?
