How To Use Pawns In Chess Middlegames

Pawn structure dictates how every piece is played...

you are my go to for chess tips!

I was looking for a non-conventional and practical pawn play video for a while till I found this video ❤️

In the first example, you mention that if black had defended the rook with the bishop, white would need to defend b4 with their bishop before moving the pawn. And when you go to the game, you say "we see a position as if that had happened" because white is defending their pawn even though the bishop move from black is not defending the rook.

I am sure that Levy knows this, but for anyone reading this who may not have caught it, white's pawn still needs to be defended because the knight can absolutely attack in that position. If white's rook attacks black's rook, blacks queen defends and it's just a trade. In which case, the knight moving actually could have created a similar backwards attack on white's rook if the bishop hasn't moved as well.

I love learning chess from Harry Potter. 💖

Hey levy I’m literally learning chess from your channel man. I appreciate your pure content. I was stuck on 900 but now I’m 1050 and playing solidly. Thank you so much. Regards from Iran.

"Match of Peters"

I felt that this is what 1900 on lichess do that 1600 don't

nice brother

Gothem chess has made me very very freaked out when somone makes a move that looks dum bc of "tunnel vision

chess is hard. but fun

I seem to have really good starts but then blunder in middle game quite often which makes me lose and stay in 300 elo. I hope this video will help.

Games played by Ian, and Ding are in this video… this is not at all relevant to the future after this video was uploaded

Yo levi how do u get those orange lines on your game?

Can you share with us the pgn of the game? I can't seem to find it. I want to use it for analysis. Thank you

Could you make a video about pawn moves in the opening such as when to use flank pawns and when not to and when to push a or h pawn? Would be really helpfull, thanks in advance!

Haha

Excellent instructional content. Thank you.

"i am not gonna take its not checkers" is always iconic!

I find it hardest to not attack with pawns but open spaces. Which is probably why I lose.

Good examples of pawn play including square, diagonal, rank or file clearance, restraining or security piece outposts, and advancing against the enemy kingside

Paprika is my favourite seasoning.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

I like these videos much better without the chatbox!

You the best!

is there any free exercise for this anywhere?

I generally like your videos, but the text on this one obscures the board. You are very understandable. Why the text?
