Fritz 10 vrs Fritz 10

Very interesting game... Obviously started without those useless pawns 😀😀

Very brave statement by the guy who started this thread... Did he expect everyone to say "yeah, never thought about it that way"?

Should I bother to mention that Pawns may be used as outposts?

There basicly only there 4 pawn promotion.
and...that's why he's 900

I like to think of pawns as a fence. the pawns advance and annex more territory for you, while fencing off that ground. If your pawns sit still, you'll die of suffocation.

I have discovered that pawns are good for attack and defence. The pawns are a support unit that hold your game together and aid your men and allow them to be more effective. Pawns aid your King in both defence and may even aid him in assulting the enemy King. If you never learn how to use your pawns you will never learn how to use your men effectively.
