I have been trying to apply the pattern behind this chess opening but now i am stuck in this position. What is my best move?
(i am truly sorry)
Reject norms, become king
assumes pawns' gender
Stop assuming my pawns' gender! Get your own gender, copycat!
I liked chess before it gone woke
Transitioning en passant
Can I be a trans-furry? (aka: be Overpowered AF)
You can be a furry building
Can a pawn change into another pawn? Asking for a very stupid friend
https://handbook.fide.com/chapter/E012023 3.7.3.3 No.
It'd be an extreme edge case where not promoting would be useful.
Pawn can't capture sideways, how would it ever be useful?
Forcing stalemate if you're super down in material
Maybe if any promotion would lead to a stalemate
If your opponent plays strictly by a point system, like a computer might, and if the piece is threatened, it might be beneficial to keep the value low to trick the oppont to do something else, while you keep the useless pawn as an obstruction, which could somehow limit your opponent's future moves.
Anyway, it's apparantly not allowed.
Well exactly. I can't think of one. It could only be useful in a situation where having a dead weight in a cell would solve some problem or other, but I've no idea how.
Fun fact: In most Indian languages, the queen is the advisor/minister, bishop is camel (rider), rook is elephant (rider), and knight is horse (rider).
Kinda makes more sense tbh. I mean, a tower? let's be real those can't move

I saved this off a while ago but couldn't find it. Did a DDG search and only found low res versions, but it gave me enough to find the one I saved. After I posted it I realized the one I had was scrubbed of the artist's info. Best I could find of the original has been moved to the post.
Looks like the author has a new website, and the only version available is a redraw:

Version I uploaded for reference:
Hey if a woman can be King - it's happened, look it up - then a man can be Queen. Or in Queen.
A man May be in Queen.
Well, if I become a horse they just gonna put me down immediately (so a win),
if I become a derelict crumbing building I'll feel exactly the same way as now,
if I change gender that won't help me with my ugly,
and if I join a cult I better make sure it's the one following the dark (black) path.
So anyway a furry is the answer.
Wait ... Can I play chess using nothing but knights? 🤔
I wouldn't capture the king. I would trample him under a stampede of horses.
Well in theory you could lose your queen, bishops and rooks, and promote all 8 pawns to knights. Your opponent would likely have to play along, possibly even doing the same.
Becoming a furry also turns you straightn't, this 💯% checks out
That's not just a furrry, look at the animal.
That pawn is considering going brony.
Thank you for mentioning furries and not therians /srs
[looks up]
Ah, otherkin. Must be the early 2010s again.
