Need Help: How To Create A Passed Pawn

 Hello all members,

First of all, sorry for the bad English. I am a newbie to the chess game and I want to know how can i create a passed pawn. I have checked many youtube videos but I am not getting it well. So I am here to take help from here. Please guide me. omegle tv

Thanks & Regards,

Met Phillips

It's hard to explain without any visual examples, please provide a scenario and I could try and help you!

In this example there is a way to break through by playing pawn to b6

It also works if blacks c pawn captures the pawn on b6

Hope this helps

Nice example. Where did you get it?

I drew the arrows myself on the chess.com analysis board

I suspect that your sarcasm-meter needs adjusting.

If you have anymore questions please don't hesitate to contact me

From a teaching perspective, the above example is just terrible. It is way, way, way too hard for a very low rated player to follow what is going on in there. And anyway, that position is a rare exception where you can create a passed pawn without having a pawn majority to begin with.

Take the above example, remove the c7 black pawn and it becomes a reasonable thing to show.

I just realised that the examples you showed already had the solution haha! I should probably have some coffee

That was what I meant by "your sarcasm-meter requiring adjustment". Or coffee. That works too.

Any decent endgame book that deals with pawn endings in any depth will have many examples of passed pawn creation......for example...

See Chapter 9....particularly, endings 126 & 127 (pp. 165-166)...

In the following, see chapter 2, in particular the section "The Pawn Breakthrough"...

https://www.google.com/books/edition/Winning_Chess_Endings/7pPaDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=winning+chess+endings&printsec=frontcover

This book is full of pawn endings which demonstrate passed pawn creation...(use the "Look Inside" feature on this webpage)...
