If the king can support its own passed pawns,
this is generally a great advantage.

neatly exploited:

AS) Blockade
For me, the passed pawn is a criminal that
should be kept under lock and key.
ARON NIMZOWITSCH
Since passed pawns have such strong forward
momentum, blockading them is often an absolute
priority; for this task a knight often renders
good service.
First Black paralyses White's central majority:
1 .•• eS 2 d5 lt:\c4 3 l!e2 ~d6 4 l!bl
In the next phase, Black activates his pieces,
before addressing the mobilization of his own
majority.
17 ... bxa4?
This reduces the winning potential and loses
control, since the white king can now penetrate
the queenside. 17 ... b4 was more accurate; for
example, 18 ii.c2 @c7 19 ii.b3 @b6 20 ii.c2
@c5, and then:
a) 21 ii.b3 ~e8 22 ii.c2 (22 ii.di ~f6 23
