Pawn+Majority

 * Pawn majority** occurs when one side has more pawns than the other in a given sector of the board. If the pawn majority is not compromised, i.e. if it does not contain doubled or backward pawns, it should eventually create a passed pawn by moving the candidate forward.

A general strategic principle tells us that a player ought to attack on the wing where he possesses a pawn majority. An important exception to this rule is a minority attack.
