Oh, yeah, that is a queen.

I thought it was a king, hence stalemate, like making a jab that Australian food is stale.

As an Aussie I didn't get this joke, we just get up and pay

[–] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure it's en passant

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

It’s a queen

Couldn't be a king as it would have already been stalemate the previous turn otherwise

This joke doesn’t work, aussies don’t call it a check, they call it a bill.

Three hundred year-old Transylvanian vampires really have no business being in Australia. The sun there is even dangerous for us regular humans. For them it's likely even worse.
