Pion coifféIn chess, pion coiffé is the handicap of undertaking to makethe mating move with a particular pawn, which is usually marked at the start of play. It is usually required that the pawn not be promoted. Pietro Carrera proved that in the endgame K+Q+P v K (pion coiffé), a win can be forced unless the pawn lies on a centre file. Carrera considered pion coiffé to be about equivalent of giving odds of a queen.
