Home* Evaluation * Pawn Structure * Minority Attack
Minority attack, a method of play typical in positions where white has pawns on a2, b2 and d4, whereas black has pawns on a7, b7, c6 and d5, the so-called Carlsbad Pawn Structure [1]. Despite the fact that black nominally has a pawn majority on the queenside, white attacks by moving the b-pawn forward and organizing piece pressure along the c-file. Then either white plays b5xc6, weakening black c-pawn, or black plays c6xb5, opening the c-file and isolating the d-pawn. |
