Pawns on the other hand can never move backwards, making pawn moves truly permanent decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis irreversibility makes Pawn Play among the most difficult aspects of chess strategy, which is one reason few books have been written about this topic – and some that have are almost incomprehensible. Double Olympiad gold medallist\u003cstrong\u003e Sam Shankland\u003c\/strong\u003e has gone the other way - breaking down the principles of Pawn Play to basic, easily understandable guidelines every chess player should know.
