FAQ

1) People often ask the question why emphasize the pawn, when the pawn is the weakest piece on the chessboard?

This question strikes a laugh because it reminds of the old saying that things are not always what they seem - In the game of chess and also in the game or journey of life.

The pawn may be viewed as an underdog or thought of as insignificant, but the has the duty of defending the kingdom and supporting all operations and strategies. The pawn is always on the front line, always having the courage to confront the opposition and not only stand in the background.

Most importantly, the pawn is the only piece in the game that has the power of transformation!  After the struggle, after the conflict, the pawn can become the most feared piece in the game because he/she can transform and become a piece of much greater power (i.e Queen, Rook, Knight). 

Like the pawn, all persons like us all have the power of transformation even after enduring substantial struggle and this gives us reassurance about our human possibilities.

2)People also often ask the question, why green?

There are several reasons why the color green is advanced as the color of choice for The Green Pawn brand (some being hyperbole) - Green is commonly associated with: Good Fortune, Promising Opportunities and Positive Outcomes - While chess isn't a game of luck, every player hopes to compete and create winning opportunities.
