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

It’s a queen

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.
