@i0null The analogy breaks down on a pawn being blocked by a king or another piece. Unable to progress even if supported, and needs another piece to clean things up and get out of the way. Shogi would be a slightly better example, pawns can still attack enemies in front of them, but only one pawn is allowed in a single file, because they'd be too strong of a fortification. @i0null "[Vimes] hated games they made the world look too simple. Chess, in particular, had always annoyed him. It was the dumb way the pawns went off and slaughtered their fellow pawns while the king lounged about doing nothing. If only the pawns would've united ... the whole board could've been a republic in about a dozen moves." Terry Pratchett, Thud! (Discworld, #34; City Watch, #7)
