Multiple weak squares of the
Multiple weak squares of the same color create a weak color complex which is easily exploitable, and it could mean a decisive advantage!
Pawns are the soul of chess, and their constellation is going to determine the structure and the nature of the position. When no pawns have been moved yet, all the squares are perfectly safe. Whenever you move a pawn, though, you will have inevitably weakened an adjacent square of the opposing color! If you play 1. e4, you are no longer controlling f3 and d3 with your pawn which used to be on e2. This is an absurd example, but this works every single time a pawn moves.
Weak color complexes occur when multiple pawns moved to one color, leaving the opposite color squares undefended. This fact is emphasized by the fact that pawns don’t move backwards, which means that the weaknesses are permanent.
This is important because several weak squares of the same color can be easily highlighted in your opponent’s position in a very simple way – by trading off their defender. If your opponent has weak light squares, trade the light square bishop. Once the defender is gone, it’s going to be much simpler to harass your opponent on the light squares.
A good example of removing a defender of a weak color complex is when white plays Bh6, trying to trade off the fianchettoed black bishop on g7. Once black plays g6, Bg7 and 0-0, his dark squares are weak, and his dark squared g7 bishop is a defender which white wants to trade off. This is jut one common way to exploit a weak color complex.
The most important thing is that you see when a weakness is being created. Always think about a pwn move you or your opponent make. Think about which squares are no longer protected and you will be able to see and exploit weak colors!
