another pawn has been castled ...

Don't get me wrong, good piece, but I play chess, and you don't "castle pawns." You might take them, or even better, pass them (en passant pardon the French), but you castle a king, not a pawn.

In the game of 'Strategery' you may castle pawns whenever your opponent violates a rule.

i read a bumper sticker the other day that said : "Happiness is a passed pawn"

Dare I fan the freeper flames and suggest that, while I appreciate the sentiment, this article is fairly lame? it isn't original in its argument, it preaches to the choir, and, as we've all already noticed, it uses a non-existent chess move for an analogy.

Sorry. I'm just cranky cuz I threw out my back

Feel the gin
