FIDE should allow women players to replace queen with a prince
Sort:
What about actual lesbians though? Would you let them play with 2 queens? Seems unfair.

The player doesn't become the king, the player controls the king piece, and all the other pieces too.
Also "the monarch" as you put it doesn't gain power by marrying a woman. The king is the king with or without the queen.
But this is already 54 words too much for such a troll topic.

I agree, and in any case it's pretty sad for anyone to actually count

There is a king and there is a queen. Seems perfectly balanced to me. And "Queen" can have different meanings to different people! What do you want, a queen with a package?

Yeah, but if you asked someone "is 54 a word or number" they're likely to answer...
That or I could have spelled fifty-four, which I considered doing...
but with the hyphen is that one word or two?
And then I have to ask myself, wait, just how far into rain man am I trying to go with this post lol.

They're called queen sacs, and for your information I have a book full of diagrams featuring them.

Actually, only ShadowDragon counted. (heehee!)
A quote comes to mind, but with it a topic change

No no no, when HE said it it's fine.
When I say it, I'm comparing myself to a world class GM, so it's stupid 
That's how I imagine it anyway.

Oh, the American education system.. the word is appendage. 😭

Well . . . when a Queen marries a man, the man is the prince. When a King marries a woman she's a Queen. So, the woman players would retain the Queen and exchange the King for a Prince.
But now the game becomes about checkmating the Queen; the prince is expendable.

You told me horses were near-sighted. How was Preg even able to count so good?
I’m sorry, I missed it. Who said the king is male?

So. Much. Stupid. My head actually hurts.
For the thousandth time, the gender of the chess player has nothing to do with the game.
