But remember that passers are not particularly important in the middlegame unless they become a tactical threat. More often than not an isolated passer is just a target for opponent rooks. But as pieces come off, they cast a larger and larger shadow on the game board. In a king and pawn ending, two isolated passers are usually more valuable than two connected passers, since a single king can blockade two connected passers while the two isolated passers are nearly impossible to stop. "wild 7" on ICC will teach you a lot about such endgame ideas...
