Why are there an extra set of queens?

[-] starik@lemmy.today 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If you get a pawn to the opposite end of the board, it turns into a queen.

But only if it wants to

Choice and consent is always important

Must transition though.

Illusion of choice. Must translation with limited options. Still can't leave the matrix

Google en passant

[-] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago

I am probably missing something, but en passant seems to have to do with a pawn capturing another pawn. I still didn't see how the extra set of queens comes into play.

No it's an old meme from r/anarchychess lol. you are meant to reply 'holy hell'. The queens are for promotions.

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 6 points 1 month ago

Wait, you can have more than one queen at a time?

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

New response just dropped

[-] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

Lol, right over my head.
