A free trainer of 200 attacking pawn variations!
Pawns not only create the sketch for the whole painting, they are also the soil, the foundation, of any position.
- Anatoly Karpov
The On the Attack series is an introduction to the attacking pieces of chess and in this final course of the series we explore the "Attacking Pawn":
Checkmates, combinations and tactics, and endgames – they are all here.
About the Course

attacking with pawns, and the structure of the course is spread across 5 chapters:
