More about triple pawns!

Barbara here again!

Triple pawns
Triple pawns are almost always bad. Try to avoid having this weakness.
These pawns are unable to support and protect each other.

Triple pawns are when there are 3 pawns of your own on the same file.

Lauren here!
About tripled pawns...
Do you know of any master game where the triple pawns occur in the game?
Do you know when tripled pawns are practical?
Have you seen a game where there has been "quadtuplet" pawns? How about "five or sixtuplet" pawns?
Please let us know because I haven't seen a game like that before

Black frequently threatens to give White tripled pawns in the Nimzo after Bxc3 and c5. Sometimes White bites! Of course, triplets are hard to defend and Black inevitably wins back at least one of them.

See Moiseenko-Iordachescu, Port Erin 2007 for an example.
