When and Why to Use PAWN BREAKS! | SIMPLIFIED!

Hope you enjoyed this, let me know if you have any questions in the comments below! :)
Key takeaways:
------------------------
Use pawns breaks for:
1) Breaking through the opponent's pawns to promote
2) Creating a weakness for your opponent
3) Getting rid of one of your weak pawns
4) Destabilizing a strong pawn structure (fighting for space)
5) Opening up the area of the board which you want to attack (make sure the pawn you're breaking is fixed to ensure a trade!)
ADVANCED: 6) Forcing your opponent to make a committal move (show their cards)
ADVANCED: 7) Sacrificing a pawn for the initiative
SUPER ADVANCED: 8) Creating squares for your pieces (which don't exist in the position before the pawn break)

You are a natural. You have a knack for explaining things in a way anyone can understand. A lot of strong players don't know how to teach these things and if they do they make a mess of it . They understand but can't convey or articulate that understanding. This is what makes you a great coach

[@LionChess]

Thank you so much! :D

Great pace, very digestible, just enough detail to avoid overwhelming the viewer. I also love how you recap what you have gone through earlier in the video, as it's so easy to lose track otherwise. Hvala!

Yeah I wish he had started his channel sooner.

Love your content. I love how you make theory accessible with examples. It's a unique approach and stands out from the "do this, then that" approach of other educational content out there. I would love if you up'ed your audio gear, though, there is an almost white-noise background quality to your audio output that makes it difficult for me to focus. But regardless, thank you for your posts!

[@LionChess]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words and valuable advice :D
I will do my best to fix my audio for future videos

Breaking news: Thanks for or giving me a break by breaking down pawn breaks and breakthoughs into simple terms. Watching this as I break bread, as a meal without breaking the bank, is a great way of breaking away from life's cares and worries.

[@LionChess]

Love that 😂
