Crime and punishment
" We learn from History that we do not learn from History " - Hegel ........ Gerald Abrahams substituted " history " with " experience " and wrote "good chess players are always struggling to give the lie to Hegel's dictum...." that one only learns from experience the fact that one does not learn from experience "! Pawn grabbing is a Sin .....we know this from history. The emphasis is on the word ' grabbing ' which indicates that the act is done at the cost of something else.... ....neglect of development.... ....neglect of King safety.... ....and a Grandmaster is well aware of this....yet..... Virat Kohli too is well aware of the danger of poking outside the off-stump and in such English conditions. Yet....he flirted with danger in a over by Woakes yesterday.....and was reprieved once....yet he perished to the same shot to the same bowler in his next over!
