In this series we will learn about key themes in isolated queen pawn (IQP) positions by examining games of legendary players.
In this episode we begin to explore the contributions of the 6th world champion, Mikhail Botvinnik for playing with the IQP. In doing so we examine a game he played against Vidmar.
IQP themes covered in this video:
blockade of the square in front of the isolated queen pawn
transporting the queen to the king side through the d3 square
pushing the f pawn to weaken the a2-g8 diagonal for the light square bishop
using the e5 outpost for the knight
