Jerry of ChessNetworkBeginnerFundamentalsPawn structureBeginner

This is video #13 from the "Beginner to Chess Master" playlist. What is a hole in a chess game? Well, we can identify them by observing the pawn structure. Being able to identify holes will allow us to both further expand our understanding of the game, and make better decisions when playing. Identifying holes in a position is a excellent start to help better our understanding of positional/strategic aspects in chess.
