if my friend wanted to be spotted a pawn of his choice, what would be the correct pawn to choose? im pretty sure it would be the kings pawn right? if u feel the need to post about how this is a poker forum and i shouldnt be posting chess questions, well thanks i didnt know that. but i did mention it in the title, so dont say i didnt give u fair warning.

the better player takes black and removes pawn f7 in a standard pawn handicap match

f7 would be his own pawn if he took black

the 2 center pawns are generally recognized as being worth more than any of the others.

1. OOT is not a poker forum
2. The d- and e-file pawns are the most valuable, with the king-pawn being just a tiny bit ahead of the queens pawn.
3. The a- and h-file pawns are least valuable.

thanks quicksilver. direct and to the point. im pretty sure we can roll with the general consensus that the kings pawn is the winnar here. thank u all for playing and have a wonderful evening.
