| Jun 11, 2017 at 17:12 | comment | added | TMM | Generally speaking, doubled pawns are not a weakness at all. They increase pawn control over neighboring files, and open files for your own pieces. They only become weak when there is no pawn on an adjacent file to protect these pawns - an isolated doubled pawn is structurally generally not what you want. (But even this is sometimes ok, and again might help cover key squares on the board.) | |

While black certainly has a natural superiority on the kingside in the KID it's no fun to expose your king position while attacking an area that doesn't endanger your opponents king. | |
