You have a Pawn Chain Pointing to the Queenside when you have a diagonal formation of connected pawns that extends from the kingside towards the queenside (as shown in the diagram above). This structure is usually very resilient as its 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 Queenside: (1) Use the space advantage on the queenside to maneuver your pieces and target weaknesses. Ideas against a strong Pawn Chain Pointing to the Queenside: (1) Attack the base of the pawn chain to destabilize its structure, (2) Create counterplay in the center or on the kingside.
