>The Black pieces rue the loss of their king to such a tragic end
>The White pieces do an organized victory dance

Duck Chess:
>White King makes his first move by moving a pawn
>Black King stands idly by, laughing in pity at his foe
>White King is confused
>White Queen suddenly collapses to the ground, dead
>White King looks on in horror as a malevolent force consumes the battlefield

>White King picks the duck up and throws it at his enemies
>Black King screams in terror as the duck crushes his rib cage
>The Duck refuses to elaborate
>The Duck leaves
