Already

Hi.
May I rephrase::
"Squares e4 and a4 don't count, because they are already considered part of White's territory."
as:
"Squares e4 and a4 don't count, because they were considered part of White's territory before."?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

The sentence mainly talks about the past, although the writer wants to focus on the present situation. The word 'already' works much more effectively.
