Listen up there Pawn of little faith, weak and small as you seem to be.
Yet I you’re King have great faith in you. Your march is long and for a just cause. Do not be afraid of your journey that lies ahead. Do not fear the snap of the Queens fingers, be strong in your faith as you meet her Bishop, stand your ground when you face that Knight with lance in hand, and when you come to face that Castel be quick to scale its walls and be weary of the her Pawns, they have the same determination as you have been bestowed on by your King

“The pawn move is a capital investment.
Every one of the forty-eight should, from
the beginning, be spent as if it were one
of the last forty-eight apprehensive and
responsible dollars between yourself and
starvation.”

"The Pawn moves only one square at a time, and that straight forward, except in the act of capturing, when it takes one step diagonally to the right or left file on to the square occupied by the man taken, and continues on that file until it captures another man"

Apart from their ability to:
a) Promote
b) Force loss of material when 'passed'
c) Fork
d) Exploit pins
e) Open lines
f) Shut in bishop
g) Block rooks
h) Fortify the King
i) Control the centre
j) Create space
k) Reduce oppoents space
l) Force retreat
m) Be more powerful than minor pieces in limited material endgames
n) Lead attacks by the major pieces

and that every opening is based around the nature of the pawn moves, and the tactics they create.

.....yes, pawns are pathetic 🙂

I love to execute my pawns. Push them forward and let them think other pieces are protecting them, but when they make enemy contact they will be all alone. HAH HAH. stupid pawns....

don't forget...rooks perpetually are going up and down on the board, while knights hop all over everything.
