    I’m already keeping track of the kings and rooks for castling reasons. Remembering whether any of the 16 pawns has moved is too overwhelming and turns IRL chess into a game of who can get away with the other player’s bad memory.

      Err… Maybe I just missed the joke, but… If the pawn is in its initial position it means it hasn’t moved yet.

        Yes, you missed the joke. I know pawns can only move in one direction on the Y-axis.
