Tryfon Gavriel, Certified FIDE Chess Candidate Master, developed The Ultimate Guide to Chess Pawn Structures online certification, which is available through Udemy and is aimed at individuals who want to understand numerous pawn structures in the game of chess.

Individuals get a strong focus on pawn structures in chess with The Ultimate Guide to Chess Pawn Structures online course, which includes illustrations from World chess champions and other professional scholars who have displayed an enthusiastic awareness of the significance of pawn structure and the classification of openings for such structures.
