Why are there an extra set of queens?
If you get a pawn to the opposite end of the board, it turns into a queen.
But only if it wants to
Must transition though.
Illusion of choice. Must translation with limited options. Still can't leave the matrix
Choice and consent is always important
Google en passant
I am probably missing something, but en passant seems to have to do with a pawn capturing another pawn. I still didn't see how the extra set of queens comes into play.
No it's an old meme from r/anarchychess lol. you are meant to reply 'holy hell'. The queens are for promotions.
Wait, you can have more than one queen at a time?
Polygamy
New response just dropped
Lol, right over my head.
Holy hell
Cheerleaders. Objectification of women continues smh.
