Syag: I’ll tell you why you’re viewing it wrong. It’s because Hashem’s knowledge is categorically different than ours. Knowledge, in Hashem’s terms, equates with absolute existence. The proper chess analogy would be someone who has only 1 legal move. The piece will not move until he moves it, but there’s no real Bechirah. That’s what Hashem’s knowledge is like. Which is why it’s a paradox.
