thanks for the lessons and we are looking forward for more lessons from you…(by the way, I already put them in practice by winning my last 2 OTB games having doubled pawns-and one was against a CM which is some achievement for me)…
players really do invest time(tempos) to give you doubled pawns underestimating a lot their potential strength-usually you get free file for R, bishops pair, some dynamic compensations, etc

I don’t mind at all I thought most of the readers would print the article and review on their own board, or use the PGN files.
Actually, the way you read it is probably the best, at least according to GM Alex Yermolinsky, who advised following lines from diagram to diagram in his book “Road to Chess Improvement”.

this was a bit more natural than the previous one(somehow I managed to find the first move very fast by myself-of course knowing the theme-compared with the previous where the first move is very odd looking), as Rook on the 7th was looking stronger than the weakeness of the doubled pawns…
one more diagram would have helped in the end as I found it a bit difficult to track without a board all the last 11 moves.

I hope you do not mind these critiques…
