a "faked" [[Candidate Passed Pawn|candidate]] with more opponent [[Sentry|sentries]] than own helpers <ref>[[Hans Kmoch]] ('''1959, 1990'''). ''Pawn Power in Chess''. New York: Dover, 1990. Previous ed.: New York: McKay, 1959. ISBN 0-486-26486-6</ref> <ref>[https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-equipment/pawn-power-in-chess-by-hans-kmoch-glossary-of-terms Pawn Power in Chess by Hans Kmoch - Glossary of Terms - Chess Forums] - [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess.com Chess.com]</ref>. The opponent sentries control the [[Stop Square|stop square]] (or tele-stop) of the faker, while the helpers defend the appropriate squares. If the number of helpers becomes equal (for instance due to a pawn-capture) the faker becomes a real candidate. A faker should not receive a candidate bonus, but is not that bad as a [[Backward Pawn|backward pawn]]. Also two opponent sentries which control the same stop square, leave a [[Holes|hole]] between both sentries, which might be considered elsewhere.
