"Черные создают пешечный кулак в центре"
This means a sort of menacing pawn cluster in the centre, such as on c4 and d4 or e4 and f4 for White. I play chess quite a bit myself but I've never come across a precise equivalent in English.

I still think the other options are good alternatives for the less sophisticated chess players among your audience.

Note from asker:
| Well, it's a chess book I translated, written by a GM on the games of a super GM. So the readers should know the terminology |
