I have a sneaking suspicion that they're not playing standard chess...

The board is sideways, and Putin's king and queen are swapped!

And Putin has about 300,000 extra pawns who he is all too happy to add to the board as cannon fodder.

And Little Rocketman have another 300000 to help Putin.

Is the board supposed to be vertical?

Lol, they just need to rotate it 90° so that (from the players' perspectives) the bottom left square is dark and the bottom right is light.

To be fair, the dalek is the most OP chess piece.

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

But they're not playing against each other. It's an invalid analogy.
