Strengths and Weaknesses of the Isolated Queen’s Pawn

 Aaron Nimzowitsch, one of the greatest chess researchers, called the problem of the isolani – his term for the isolated d-pawn – ‘one of the cardinal problems in the whole theory of positional play’.

 In the present book, on the basis of numerous practical examples, the authors explain the methods of attack and defence in positions with an isolated d-pawn, from just after the opening to deep into the endgame.
