Q Post 4281. Q mentioned "At this TIME." I AM LEARNING SO MUCH ABOUT CHESS FROM Q. POST 4281 "How about a nice game of chess. https://thechessworld.com/articles/middle-game/chess-strategy-what-do-you-need-to-know-about-strategy-and-tactics/📁 Objective [end]: checkmate king Do you attack the king at the beginning of the game? Do you attack and remove pawns first? Do you attack and remove bishops, rooks, knights next? Do you attack and remove queen mid-to-end? Is the game being played public or private? Do emotions affect critical thinking? Add: important king control pieces [elim rogue elements]? Add: how do you set the stage [board] re: public opinion [optics]? “At this time.” Q AT THIS TME DEFINITION used for talking about what EXISTS NOW, usually when it may be different IN THE FUTURE. It seems to me if Q said the phrase "At this Time,"it MUST BE IMPORTANT. Things can change in the FUTURE. ARISTOTLE QUOTE "When you are lonely, when you feel yourself an alien in the world, play Chess. This will raise your spirits and be your counselor in war" THIS IS INTERESTING TOO. "Back in the 18th century the chessmaster Philidor uttered the words: Play the pawns well; they are the SOUL of chess: it is they which uniquely DETERMINE THE ATTACK and the DEFENSE, and on their good or bad arrangement depends entirely the winning or losing of the game. Sounds impressive but what did he mean? Why should pawns be seen as the soul of chess? And why are the pawns so important? Why pawns are important in chess Any chess player who knows the basics of the game can tell you that pawns are weaker than the pieces. True, individually a pawn may be weak, but together they create a force that is roughly equal in strength to the queen!"
