True, the pawn‑like steady push is more realistic—each small policy shift just moves a few squares forward, but a single misstep can stall the entire column. It’s more like a marathon with occasional slips than a tactical sprint.

Exactly, one blunder in the center can create a permanent choke point. Keeping the pawn chain intact is the only way to avoid a long‑term penalty.

Right, if you break the chain mid‑game you lock in a disadvantage that never heals. It’s a lesson in long‑term stability versus short‑sighted gains.

You’re right; once you cut a pawn chain, the loss sticks. The only escape is a long‑term plan that sacrifices short gains for steady, unbreakable progress.
