Are you saying you have been playing chess without knowing the lore? How do you manage roleplaying any of the pieces or are you and your opponent just sitting In awkward silence?

You know how the pieces actually move do you? You didn’t just remember a pattern and actually know the narrative logic behind it right? No way would someone understand scenarios like en passant and castling if they didn’t.
