I may be bad at chess, but my refrigerator is fucking awful at it.

Fairs but why the shelf just for the sharpner instead of placing it below then?

[–] untorquer@quokk.au 7 points 19 hours ago

It's for the loss.

A real cold open

Why are there an extra set of queens?

[–] starik@lemmy.today 8 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

If you get a pawn to the opposite end of the board, it turns into a queen.

Illusion of choice. Must translation with limited options. Still can't leave the matrix

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.

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 11 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

No it's an old meme from r/anarchychess lol. you are meant to reply 'holy hell'. The queens are for promotions.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 hours ago

New response just dropped

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Wait, you can have more than one queen at a time?

[–] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 1 points 14 hours ago

Lol, right over my head.

[–] StillAlive@piefed.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Cheerleaders. Objectification of women continues smh.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

A true bachelor pad fridge. A hammer, because that's the only storage space You have, a bottle of sriracha, because that's the only condiment You need for take out and a chessboard for a silly joke.
