Generally it is strong in endings.

That passer of HIARCS was created already in the 17th move (passer history
should be studied). In fact the effect of that passer was so strong that the
game revolves around that small piece.
Also if it is a weakness, Did the GM annihilate that passer easily, even if that
passer falls, still it was not a clear win.
