Free Pawn 1
Who doesn’t like free stuff? A “free pawn” is an unprotected pawn that can be captured without any risk. Often, an opponent will leave a pawn unprotected, providing you with an opportunity to gain a material advantage.
In many tactical exercises, we focus on winning minor and major pieces, but pawns are just as important. Capturing an extra pawn can make a big difference later in the game, especially if that pawn can be promoted in the endgame.
Capturing a free pawn not only grants material advantage but can also strengthen your position by increasing pressure on your opponent. Your extra pawn can play important defensive and offensive roles.
