simple present/future

Hello.
"The move A doesn't save Black either because of B." means A will not save Black"?

We cannot say that 'doesn't save' means 'will not save'.

What we can say is that your first sentence may have future reference. It may also have reference to general time - every time that move is made. Only context will tell us which is intended.

So simple present can reference future?

There was a move made in a game, and in commentary, GM Gurevich said that another move, A, Doesn't save Black either.
