Beautiful.
Ping for stealing that one.
I know! When does the little kid show up to say the emperor has no clothes? This has gone beyond the absurd. We have entered Superman’s Bizarro world where everything bad is good and good is bad.
LOL, ain’t it da truth!
historians here can verify if internet is correct that back in the old days black was considered a lucky color and too much of an advantage to go first
Today, Chess is racists. Taking a deep breath is racists. A case of acne is racists. Having an ingrowing toenail is racists. Being bald headed is racists. Having pink eye is racists. Fire ants infesting one;s lawn is racists.
It would be Racist if the White Player always moves first.
I saw him repressin’ you.
Hmmm, this social justice atonement thing gets tricky. At what point does the victim become the boss and still maintain victim status? It’s not easy being woke.
You make a good point.
Also - as we know - if the queen does get captured - it’s pretty much Game Over.
The King is screwed without his Queen.
As OSU’s coach Gundy found out, wearing an OAN shirt is racist. I’m an OU fan, so have no great love for Gundy, but I was surprised when he groveled and apologized. What he should have said was, “Show me how OAN is at all racist.”
Of course, his actions could have something to do with his best player threatening to leave the program over a shirt. Hmmm....
In the old show about Baltimore back around the turn of the century ‘The Wire’, one of the teens had ‘charge’ of a couple of younger kids and he teaches them math by explaining how drugs are ‘cut’ and priced.
Another of the ‘older kids’ was explaining the drug infrastructure and used Chess how to explain the chain of command...
Interesting take....
Any game that white can legally chase black all over the board, just has to be racist!
So a game invented in India, taken up by the Persians, and transported along the Silk Road into Europe is “racist”?
Not necessarily. The Queen sacrifice occurs regularly to set up a winning position. But you better know what you are doing.
While they’re at it, they should demand that the Bishop be removed as a piece on religious persecution grounds, and be replaced with a Protester.

And what’s with putting all those pawns on the frontline, man! It’s like they’re expendable or something. It’s pure exploitation, man.
Those Benjamins exert a strong downward influence. His best player now owns him lock, stock, and barrel head.
From The Revolutionary Character of the French Revolution by Robert Darnton
...chess pieces were renamed, because a good revolutionary would not play with kings, queens, knights, and bishops; and the kings, queens, and jacks of playing cards became liberties, equalities, and fraternities. The revolutionaries set out to change everything:...
OTOH, Lewis Carroll used a red-and-white chess set to personify in "Through the Looking-Glass".
OMG my entire wardrobe is black and white guess I better start changing my colors up or I will be outlawed from wearing my clothes soon!! This has become absolutely asinine!!!
White cars, black tires? Just sayin’. Yes, it is that stoopid.
