First move advantage in Western Chess - why does it exist?[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Please do not misconstrue the following remark to imply that any move
within a game of Chess is unimportant?  However, the very first move in a
game (by white) is the most important one and all subsequent moves have
slightly, progressively diminishing importance.  This is another clue.
