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

I lost to my refrigerator. It's a 1974 Freeze'n'Shit

Why is there a pencil sharpener in their fridge

Fairs but what's the hot sauce for then?

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

[–] untorquer@quokk.au 10 points 1 day ago

It's for the loss.

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 3 points 1 day ago

That's a nice hammer.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day 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.

Why are there an extra set of queens?

[–] starik@lemmy.today 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 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

Choice and consent is always important

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 1 day 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.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

New response just dropped

[–] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

Lol, right over my head.
