Isolated and doubled (according to the texts that I have read at least) are
USUALLY weak. However, in a formation where it is easy to undouble doubled pawns
they aren't that weak. Also, isolated pawns are only weak if inadequately
defended. Isolated pawns can be very powerful if they are in the fifth rank or
further.
