think you may have read this quote?
"To be a professional chess player is to spend your life living out of suitcases and fighting for control of the d5 square."
The reason d5 is more "important" is simply becuase it is a popular square of contestation in the sicilian, arguably the most popular opening in the world. It is also an important square in many other opening lines such as the queen's gambit, as pointed out above.
Whether or not "important" is the correct word is debatable. Certainly in these sicilian lines, the d5 square is more important than any other central square, but of course d5's importance is dependent on the board position. I would not agree that all center squares are equally important because, for example, d4 is rarely a square that people fight over.
Further maybe ‘create a map’ was really ‘set up the chest board’
Think of all the alpha numerical references along with the chess lingo.
He stresses D5
And castle…
I love that meme. Might be the most dismissive meme ever created
The gaslighting and projecting are at critical mass
