Fantastic read - everything you never realized you needed to know about pawns

This is a great read - probably written for somebody a little stronger than me (I'm ~1800ish on lichess depending on time control), but I could still get a lot out of it. It's organized intuitively, and the prose is reasonably good for a chess book (and one in translation, I think?, at that). Definitely got me thinking about pawns (and my other pieces!) in a new way.

A must for club players and intermediate players.

Great book! Since the classical "The pawn power" by Hans Kmoch I have almost never seen a book that is so well and concisevely written about the structures of pawns in chess. As Philidor said "the pawn is the soul of chess" and the author explains the structures in conjunction with the piece play. The book is a must.

The title says it all

Great book about pawn structure and how it can be applied to overall strategy. Themes include isolated pawns, backward pawns, hanging pawns, pawn chains, and how pieces and pawns work together. I believe this book should be a part of every chess player's library, it has been very helpful to me.

Useful follow-up to Hans Kmoch's "Pawn Power In Chess"

This is a useful follow-up to Hans Kmoch's masterpiece Pawn Power in Chess (Dover Chess). Hickl's book is targeted to the average amateur chess player with individual chapters focused on examples of play featuring the basic pawn structures - hanging pawns, isolated pawns, backward pawns, passed pawns, doubled pawns, weak squares and pawn chains. Also included are three chapters focused on pawn play featuring rooks, knights and bishops, respectively. If you want to improve your positional pawn play, this book will definitely prove helpful.
