Second?!
Hello.
The sentence is:
"In this case, White grabbed the pawn without a second thought."
from Winning Chess Play
Does second here mean the one after the first or means 1/60 of a minute?

Hi,
"In this case, White grabbed the **** without a second thought."
without a second thought This is an idiomatic way of saying 'immediately'.
ie the thought came into White's mind, and she acted immediately, without thinking further.
