What is a Passed Pawn?

通路兵是指在自身所在列以及相邻两列上,没有任何对方兵可以阻挡、吃掉或减缓其前进的兵。由于对手没有兵来封锁其通往升变的道路,必须动用有价值的棋子——如马、象或车——来亲自阻拦。通路兵代表着一个持续的、迫在眉睫的升变为后的威胁,经常迫使防守方采取被动、防御的姿态。它从根本上改变了棋盘的几何形态。

How It Works — Step by Step

Step 1

What is a Passed Pawn?

White's d5 pawn is a passed pawn — no Black pawns can stop it on the d-file or adjacent files. It has a clear path to promotion.

Step 2

The Protected Passed Pawn

White's d5 pawn is protected by c4 — a protected passed pawn. It ties Black's pieces down permanently.

Step 3

The Outside Passed Pawn

White's a-pawn is far from the main action. The Black king must march over to stop it, leaving White's king free to attack Black's kingside.

Step 4

Connected Passed Pawns

Two passed pawns side by side support each other. A single rook often cannot stop connected passed pawns on the 6th rank.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Passed Pawns

通路兵是指在自身所在列或相邻列上没有对方兵阻止其前进的兵。由于没有敌方兵能封锁或吃掉它,对手被迫使用有价值的棋子,如马或车,来拦截并阻止它升变。

马是最好的封锁棋子。当马直接站在通路兵前面时,它不会被敌方兵攻击,并且保持高度活跃,控制着周围八个格子,同时成功地将兵固定在原位。
