The Chess Strategy Deep Dive series continues! To get better at chess strategy, you need to improve your pawn play. Pawn play always connects to piece activity in chess. You should speak to your pieces and ask them whether they are feeling miserable. If that is the case, then you should try to awaken them as soon as possible. This video shows several different mechanisms on how you play with your pawn to awaken and activate your pieces. This will give direction to your pawn play and improve your strategic understanding.

We need to learn important strategic patterns to build our positional skills. That is the reason I created the Chessable course, "The Art of Awakening Pieces". Studying that course, using their spaced repetition technology, will ingrain those positional patterns and let you internalize them.
