'''Protected Passed Pawn''',<br/>
a passed pawn that is protected by a friendly pawn, and thus gaining some extra "long range" bonus in evaluation since it might become a decisive winning advantage in [[Pawn Endgame|pawn endgame]] assuming other things being equal <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=341763 Re: passed pawn evaluation] by [[Tord Romstad]], [[CCC]], January 12, 2004</ref>. In pawn endings, a protected passed pawn typically obligates the opponent king inside its [[Rule of the Square#TheSquareofthePawn|square of the pawn]], which makes the defender taboo to capture by the king, freeing the own king from defensive duties.
If the defending pawn is even a passed pawn by itself, the passers are [[Connected Passed Pawns|connected]] <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connected_pawns Connected pawns from Wikipedia]</ref>. The defender may advance at times to establish a connected [[Duo Trio Quart (Bitboards)|duo]], mutually protecting their [[Stop Square|stop squares]] with the option to advance the one or the other passer for a protected passed pawn one rank further. As pointed out by [[Robert Hyatt]] <ref>[https://www.stmintz.com/ccc/index.php?id=341873 Re: passed pawn evaluation] by [[Robert Hyatt]], [[CCC]], January 12, 2004</ref>, one should be careful in evaluating connected passers versus two distant isolated passers.
