But King and Queen has a nice ring to it.

I just saw the movie Napoleon.

I noticed the movie has a balance of Napoleon's personal and "professional" life.

I'm not stupid.

I know they are trying to get both genders to go see the movie. They play up Josephine.

I'm not stupid.

I've got a Napoleon and Josephine + Augustus and Livia chess set.

They are all men, even the Queen.

Bravo.

That is the most insightful statement I've ever head.

From that, I figured out The Mirror Universe.

In our Mirror Universe, God took a rib from Adam and created Eve. Eve is a copy of Adam. Adam is the original.


In the other Mirror Universe, Barbie is the original and Ken is the clone of Barbie!

Wow!

The Mirror Universe!

The pawns can be female or male and the queen is obviously female. The bishops, knights, rooks, and king are male! So since the pawn can promote to a rook its a male and if it can promote to a knight then its male but it can also promote to queen which is a female!

The Queen is obviously male as Ken is obviously female.

Obvious as day.

You have that reversed.

Ken is just a clone of Barbie.

I don't see Ken in a Karate gi, if you know what I mean.

These are not women in any way, shape, or form.

I don't know what they are. Bizarro men or Bizarro women.

They look like men trying to be women!

Aside from the King, everything on the board is female. The logic is inescapable.

Pawn's must be Female since they can't promote to a King

Checker pieces must be male since they can only promote to Kings

Other than the King and the Queen, what is the gender of the other chess pieces? 🤔🤔🤔

^ this actually isn't that obvious, king is a male character for sure but it's vague for the queen. In eastern countries queen is called Vizier, right hand of the king.. and he also is a male.

Bishops are called Elephants, so they are just animals tongue.png but gender is unknown..

rook is a castle he cant have a gender

Avatar of PromisingPawns

The bishop and knights are definitely male if we look at our history, rook is castle so it has no gender, the pawns are the common people of the kingdom so they are of both genders. However, if you go by the promotion logic, then all pieces are female except the king. But that doesn't seem too promising given that the world at that time was run by only men.

I guess it would be fine in Offtopic, it wouldn't stick out from there.

All pieces and pawns are men, including the Queen. They aren't "characters" as someone else asserted.

So the Queens are actually Drag Queens?
