Learn the BACKWARDS Pawn Structure in UNDER 10 minutes

[@muhammadhussainfarooq1483]

Benoni defense is a direct example of Backward Pawn.

[@hikgerguy1234]

Nice work. Just getting into chess again. You got right to the point, unlike other videos I've watched about the backward pawn.

Welcome back!

[@MrSupernova111]

Would be nice to see a video on how to defend backwards pawns and what are the trade offs when we have them. All the videos I've seen only cover attacking from the opposite side. But we know in systems like the Sicilian of the French that backwards pawns are a regular concept and not always losing.

[@ChessGeek1]

True! Maybe, pawn structures are not always bad, or always good, it is largely context-dependent. Maybe I will make a future video expanding on this sometime :)

can you tell how do I improve at chess to get 2200+ rapid and blitz on lichess. My blitz is 1980 and rapid is 1950+

Work on whatever your weaknesses are - tactics, openings, middlegames, etc.

What is your fide rating, sir?

[@ChessGeek1]

I barely competed in fide tournies, so it is like unrated - or very low provisional, but chess.com is 2100

Why am I watching this for free, once you become a super gm this will be on chessable paid course

[@ChessGeek1]

Well I am working on a chessable course at the moment - and it might have a small price tag to it- but I'm certainly not making it for the money :)

[@RageArt-w5w]

@@ChessGeek1 I have been a chessable user for quite a very long now. I wonder which course are you making? I will be more than happy to buy your course.

[@aintnoneyabusiness7634]

You should be thankful you're watching it for free.

[@ChessGeek1]

Thank you, and sorry for the late reply. It is on the surface a course about tactics and puzzles, but I think it has a pretty cool theme to it. I finished everything on my end, and now it is up to chessable to find a time to publish it. Hopefully not too far away. I will update everyone when it is released. Thanks again for the support :) @@RageArt-w5w
