I have a soft heart for Soltis, Pawn Structure Chess. I read it in the mid-1990s with an unmarked chess board in front of me while making the transition from descriptive notation to algebraic. I've been fluent in algebraic ever since.

Cool. I read little of it going back to almost a decade when I first purchased this book. Now that my board vision has gotten a little bit more scope, I find that I'm understanding it a little better. I really like this book. It definitely deserves to be called a classic.
They the most useful piece to me

Pawns are the anchor. If you sink into the deepest ocean of possiblity they offer stability.
It's how you position them

Always with strength in numbers they work as a team. Pawns control the whole board. Sometimes a single pawn wins an entire game. Pawns in the center dominate, and the whole thing could fall down by a single pawn break. Power to the pawns!
That's what I wanna be a strong pawn player

Theres alot of pawn rules that go hand in hand with strategy, planning, and piece development. Chess is a multi-faceted game that you have to know a little of everything to really improve.
