If chomping on hanging pieces is a bad idea, it's either a sac or not hanging. It's simple. If chomping isn't a good idea, then the piece isn't hanging.

“When we first learn the game we are terrible materialists. We capture as many enemy pieces as we can without paying much attention to other factors. A game between two beginners can look more like Pac-Man than chess as they gobble up the pieces. […] It doesn’t take long in chess or elsewhere to realise that there is much more to life than material.”

Just like children, they like to eat things. Later in life, they realize that life has more meaning than being a human Pac-Man
But this thread has everything
It has drama, action, romance
True true 😭
