I don’t play chess but isn’t it a chess move to capture the queen? Just a guess.

I don’t play chess either!

However, the chans recently created a centering of the text of the #1603. The shape and form the text took is reminiscent of a Queen chess piece. They were speculating that in the game of chess a captured Queen is an important move, and so in real life, does this indicate a Captured Queen somewhere?

They were, along with our generally, speculating, who in real life represents the “captured Queen.”

Yes. The goal is to checkmate the King. He’s never actually “captured” but the capture is inevitable in the next move.

Supposedly the symbol of an upside down queen means that she’s captured. The Q post in question looks exactly like an upside down queen when the words are centered. Some on the board are saying that’s too far-fetched. Personally, I prefer not to argue, but I think it’s more near-fetched. ;-)
