'''[[Main Page|Home]] * [[Evaluation]] * [[Pawn Structure]] * Pawn Islands'''
'''Pawn islands''' of either side are groups of pawns (at least one), separated by files without own pawns. Those files are therefore either [[Pawns and Files (Bitboards)#HalfopenFiles|halfopen]] or [[Pawns and Files (Bitboards)#OpenFiles|open]]. All other things being equal, the side with fewer pawn islands has an advantage, because the individual pawns are easier to defend against enemy attacks. Each island has a west- or east border file. Rook-files may be the most outer borders.
