Chess Structures Fundamentals for Post-Beginners

If you're ready to take your chess beyond tactics, it’s time to understand the true foundations of the game: pawn structures.

In The Power of Pawns, Grandmaster Jörg Hickl teaches you how typical pawn formations influence everything on the board—plans, piece activity, strengths, weaknesses, and long-term strategy.

Aimed at post-beginners, this practical guide shows how just one pawn move can either ruin your position or lead you to victory. Through clear explanations, instructive examples, and helpful exercises, Hickl helps you:

• Recognize the strengths and weaknesses of key pawn structures

• Identify recurring strategic themes and patterns

• Learn how to improve your position step-by-step

• Develop effective and logical plans based on the structure

Rather than complex theory, Hickl offers straightforward, actionable advice grounded in real games—perfect for club players and improving amateurs.
