Hello.

Here the author says:

"Remember, Bishops and Knights are minor pieces, not pawns".

I wonder What does remember mean here exactly.Anyone helps?

Part of Collins® dictionary definition:

1. to become aware of (something forgotten) again; bring back to one's consciousness; recall

2. to retain (an idea, intention, etc.) in one's conscious mind to remember Pythagoras' theorem remember to do one's shopping
