You have a Pawn Chain Pointing to the Kingside when you have a diagonal formation of connected pawns that extends from the queenside towards the kingside. This structure is typically very resilient, as the pawns support each other. It can help you launch attacks and create weaknesses on that side of the board.

Ideas for when you have a strong Pawn Chain Pointing to the Kingside: (1) Launch a kingside attack, using your pawn chain as a base for your offensive, (2) Prevent queenside counterplay. Ideas against a strong Pawn Chain Pointing to the Kingside: (1) Attack the base of the pawn chain to destabilize its structure, (2) Ensure protection for your King, (3) Create counterplay in the center or on the queenside.
