No pawn storm

This is an example that shows that pawn storms are not always correct. In particular, there are a few such situations that dictate that a pawn storm could be risky: 1. if there is no clear goal, 2. if your opponent has as many or more pieces on that side (or aiming at that side) of the board then you do, 3. if the center is open.
