“…when you move a pawn forward, pawns can't go backwards, so never in that pawn's life will it be able to influence the squares it once was, because the squares it was influencing before are behind it forever. Now, conversely, when you move a pawn forward, it's now influencing squares that it's never been able to influence before. And so chess is this very interesting idea that, you know, a bad or good move is only with context.” - nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle
