Can a player also end up with triple or quadrupled Pawns
position?
Thank you.

Dear
viewer,
When two Pawns of the same color are placed on the
same file, we use to call them "Doubled Pawns". This usually happens
when a Pawn captures an enemy piece and lands onto a file on which
another friendly Pawn resides.
This can be considered a small weakness since both
Pawns may lack the ability to defend each other and sometimes makes it more
difficult to achieve a breakthrough which could create a passed Pawn
that often is a deciding factor in endgames.
Some Chess strategies are based on burdening the opponent with doubled
Pawns because of this positional weakness. There are also a number of
Openings that accept doubled Pawns in exchange for some prevailing
advantage, such as the Two Knights Variation of Alekhine's Defence.
The following game shows a game played between Alexander Alekhine
and Vladimir Nenarokov with a
quadrupled Pawns position:
