Jeremy Silman, a famous chess writer and coach, argues that these pawns should not be automatically considered "weak" without taking into account some of the other positional factors relating to them. For instance, if an isolated pawn is placing strong pressure on the opponent's position and cannot be easily captured, it would not be considered weak. An ''isolated queens pawn'' (pawn on the d file) is often an advantage in the middle game because it entails two open files for the heavy pieces (rooks and Queen) to use to attack.
