Use of simple present tense(chess)

Hello.
Why is simple present tense used in:

4.g3

A better move is 4.Ke2, though Black would retain the advantage, because he has an extra pawn and the White King is stuck in the middle.(By moving his King, White forfeited the right to castle. )
?What does that mean?

Thanks in advance

You mean all present tenses can be translated into the past tense and that only giving of advice was meant?

When a player performs certain moves, he has given up (forfeited) the option to execute the "castling the King" move.

soheil1I also fail to understand the difference between "give up", "lose", and "forfeit".
Looking up 'forfeit' in a couple of the dictionaries at www.onelook.com should help you.

You do not lose by your own volition. You lose because the fates are against you. He lost his keys.
You can forfeit or give up by your own deliberate choice.

soheil1I mean, were you forced to break a law or did it unforcedly? conscious or unconscious?
No. Suppose you drove 150 km/hr by a crowded market and school. You were showing off your new wheels to your friends. The police stopped you, and confiscated your driver's license.. You have forfeited your right to drive.
