Push your passed pawns and win!


Passed pawns can be a menace on the chessboard, especially when they get piece support. Here are two examples from my recent internet play. Remember to push your passed pawns!

​In the examples below the e-pawn quickly decides everything but also note White's bishop pair. If you can get your bishops on open lines they can support your passer. Here the black knight had no place to run.

​Here the b-pawn decides everything. Note how difficult it was for White to deal with it when his pieces were stationed on the king side. Remember to push your passed pawns!
