As a (weak) chess player, I'd define a weak pawn as a pawn which can easily be
attacked by the opponent and/or hard to defend by myself. While pawns on a
semi-open files are probably good candidates for being weak, they're surely not
the only ones - ie the white pawn on h6 in the last Smirin game, depending on
how the game progresses.
