It's not so much the pawn as the fact it was a move that would have let Lelouch's king in check.
It wouldn't have been backing down (which is what Lelouch did), and it wouldn't have been claiming victory (what Charles would have done, but that Lelouch's pride didn't let him do), and it wouldn't have been rejecting the move (which would have sounded whiny and been another form of backing down).
In a way, it would have been a reversal of Schneizel's ploy, as well as a statement Zero wasn't afraid of a game of chicken. Good.
OTOH, it would have let Schneizel define the rules, and Zero obediently playing by them. Bad.
