A '''Pawn chain''' consists of pawns placed on the same diagonal, without interruption, so that only one of them is undefended. That pawn is called a base of pawn chain. The player opposing the pawn chain should attack its base or else strive to exchange pawns being parts of the chain. The old chess theory warned against attacking the peak of the chain, but some lines of the French defense show that this strategy is perfectly applicable.
