Everyone who’s ever had a knight take a pawn, has seen that capture as more than one piece replacing another on the board. In players’ minds, the bold knight, resplendent in his armor of silver or ebon, sallies forth and slays the foul foot soldier. Combat, mortal combat, lies in the heart and soul of chess, but this aspect of it could only live in the mind’s eye.
