Well, there are a lot more pawns in this game than in chess--all of Scioly.org are pawns, minus the officers. I don't believe there is a highly detailed chess game going on in the background at this point, but a mostly symbolic one.

They did 'em, they just did 'em incorrectly...

I forgot that Jacobi made that one... He's not been active for a while, though, so I bet that's irrelevant...

The letter used for the knight in chess notation, as well as the phonetic first letter, is N. I think they're trying to spell out something with these letters.
Do we have a list of all his sigs?
1: "r" (maybe mistake)
2: "castling on the 5th move"
3: "EvEryonE can lEarn to win at chEss"
4: "mistakes, even on the 2nd move, can kill you"
5: "you haven't discoveRed the meaning of these. my signatuRes all fit togetheR, and each means something."
6: "The first letter of knight, if you can't spell, is a different letter than the real first letter... hmm."
for number 2, you can't castle queenside until the fifth move. The notation is O-O-O. (You can castle kingside on the fourth move, with notation O-O).
4 might be referring to the fool's mate.

therefore, we might have r,o,e,f,R,N? ???

the o might also be a three. Or the whole idea of queenside castling might be useless.

Could sign #4 refer to the fools mate?

The room is so quiet you could hear a needle drop. Arbitrarily, I glance out the window, seeing the pine trees, and hope that I can finally take another piece... maybe, just maybe, this'll be possible to win.
I can't help but notice the bolded sections spell out my (former) username... maybe I'm just crazy and want to be killed.

Also, arbitrarily is arpitr with the p upside down...

I noticed these because the word arbitrarily seemed to be arbitrarily placed in there.

If we don't have any other leads maybe put a protect on Arpitr20 (my old account)

I protect Arpitr20 (now ESBoi123) because of the reasoning above

If it refers to fools mate, then it probably refers to the square that the white pawn moves. (Wild Guess)
