Chapter 8 of the Strategic Test Suite:   Advancement of f/g/h pawns  is now available for download.

* Consists of carefully selected 100 questionairres on "Advancement of f/g/h Pawns"

* All of the questions in this test suite are selected by me and thoroughly verified by Dann Corbit through analysis with the help of top engines for hours. I initially selected about 200 problems and sent them to Dann, of which 100 has passed criteria. Dann then made the final selection.

* All the answers carry similar traits:

(1) Advancing the king side pawns in an attempt to gain more space/launch attack.
(2) Marching forward with either of the f/g/h pawns in an attempt to prevent opponent from advancing his pawns further. Helps in building the strong active defense.
(3) Tests your engine's understanding on King safety, Handling of King's side pawns, Gaining space on the edge of the board, Aggressiveness.
