This is Weeb language, right? I Ministry of Truthed that stuff from my brain
Pawns can turn into bishops too. They’re just trans, one way or the other.

Holy hell
it’s only NTR in bughouse since you don’t actually steal the pieces for your use in normal chess
England currently has a male queen. Was this not common in ancient times ?
Really messed up that all British people are born from the male queen who lays eggs after sequestering random British workers and mating. Who came up with this sick system?
someone explain the pawn changing rule to me i dont know chess very well. I knew about the queen thing ofc but the other pieces i didnt.
If a pawn reaches the other side of the board it can turn into any piece. There’s almost no reason to get anything other than a queen though so that’s what everyone always takes.
Only exceptions are cases where queening the pawn leaves the opponent with no valid moves but not in check, i.e. stalemate. That’s somewhat rare but it is important to watch out for. Sometimes you need to promote to bishop or rook instead.
There are also conceivable situations where you would want to promote to a knight, since all the spaces the knight sees are spaces the queen can’t.
100% true. In fact, there are even more situations where promoting to a knight is useful, since it can help you keep tempo if you’re simultaneously gaining material and keeping the opponent in check.
When a pawn reaches the back row, it can be exchanged for any major piece. Usually people choose to sub in a queen, but in some circumstances that’s not the best move.
If your opponent cannot win, they can still go for a tie (stalemate). If they cannot make a legal move, but their king is not currently in check, that’s a stalemate. If your pawn-turned-queen would bring this about, you’re better off converting the pawn into a bishop, rook, or knight (depending on the circumstances).
Queen piece was the minister in the original form. However rooks were elephants. Counterpoint chess pieces are animorphs
Alternate theory: pawns are gender dysphoric eggs that hatch upon reaching the 8th rank
I still find it corny that you can’t capture the king. You just get to corner the bastard and that’s it. That’s the game.
You could capture it. Its just pointless because you have to offer them every possible way out of it. Once its checkmate you’ve already won. Most players concede once the game is unwinnable anyway
I’d love to be a king in a tied game where the only opponent left is the other king tbh
