If you want to make it more important, increase it. If you want to make it less important then decrease it. Probably, pawn formation and structure is good for long pawn chains and good king shelter and bad for doubled pawns, pawn islands, etc. Here, white pawn structure/formation is good, and black's is bad: [D]rn1qk2r/2ppp2p/p5p1/p2P2p1/P1P1P3/1P1B1N2/5PPP/1R1Q1RK1 w kq - As to what the exact difference is between the two parameters, you would have to ask Ed. So, do you think pawns are the soul of chess? Increase the numbers. Do you think pawns are an annoyance? Decrease it.
