Can Chess moves be Evil?

A move is just a move, right? Or is it something more? There are no moral consequences for the moves we play, right? I never asked myself these questions before and would of thought of such questions to be silly or trollish questions until I explored some background history to the openings I wanted to play. I had known of Claude Bloodgood. A man convicted of the murder of his own mother. Who spent a life sentence in Prison and still played chess while in there. His by far pet opening seemed to be the Grob. I don't play the Grob and have only looked into it a little - maybe deterred by its unsound reputation maybe by its dark connection to a man like this. The Grob seems a perfect fit for a mind such as this perhaps. Did he choose it or did it choose him? Anyway, I come across another opening for white that I was interested in learning, the Sicilian- Snyder Variation. Again I am confronted by the evil story of this openings "owner". I read Snyder has been convicted of multiple sexual assaults involving children and pass the opening by. Again sickened I try the Smith-Morra and other options instead. Time has passed and I still want something different to play against the Sicilian. So I'm back to looking at this Snyder Sicilian. I really want to dive in to its lines but it makes my skin crawl to think I'll be delving inside the mind of a pedophile, I know it sounds ridiculous but I can't seem to get away from it. Many people pride their chess playing style with their type of personality and see their moves as a reflection of themselves as a person. When many of us learn chess lines we try to emulate and put ourselves into the mind of the players who have been there before. I know its only chess moves but I don't want to have any link to minds such as those, but this opening really appeals to me! How can I detach the bad karma my mind associates to these openings because of the bad people who I know have played them religiously? It doesn't even make me feel better that many other good people have came after and played it too. It still makes me feel dirty walking in the footsteps of evil. So I ask you, can chess moves be inherently evil after certain people choose to play them and devote their energy into them? Are some openings just more evil than others and appeal to these people? Anyone else not play an opening because of such reasons?

You're being ridiculous. Chess openings are just chess openings. They don't acquire moral properties from the people who play them.

Using the results of Nazi medical research involving the torture of subjects is more problematic.
