How lovely would it be if your pawns bury the enemy pieces, shutting them out from the game. Pawn play always connects to piece activity and restriction in chess, and this video teaches the art of burying the enemy pieces.

After winning a game against Mecking due to the buried knight on b7, Geller wrote: "The result is a strategically unified game, one of those where victory is achieved without any conspicuous errors on the opponent’s part. Such encounters give no less pleasure than the most mind-bending combinations and the most dashing attacks.”

Learning the art of burying pieces will give immense joy and show the true beauty of chess. That will also improve your strategic play and give direction to your piece exchanges. Moreover, you will start making your pieces happy while entombing the enemy pieces!
