How do you beat pawn pushers?
These people aren't very good at chess, neither am I, but they trip me up every time.
I have better luck dealing with higher rated people playing proper chess. Yet those who break every principle beat me by shuffling pawns seem to beat me frequently and not sure why.
Advice welcome.
Pawn moves are no developing moves.
If they push pawns, then they fall behind in development and you can capitalise on that.
Each pawn move creates weaknesses. You can strike back at those weaknesses.
Here is a game that shows how to punish pawn pushers for their overextended position.
