… Stalemate?

[–] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 50 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Check, mate.

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 45 points 3 months ago

Oh, yeah, that is a queen.

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

[–] Geobloke@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago

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

[–] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

Pretty sure it's en passant

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

It’s a queen

[–] HeurtisticAlgorithm9@feddit.uk 0 points 3 months ago

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

Time for a succulent game of Chinese chess!

RIP to a legend.

Only problem is that we usually ask for the bill; not the cheque.

[–] cloventt 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

I didn't know australians used different terminology for chess, you learn something new every day

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago

[–] Owljfien@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

the only people who still use cheques have got to be like 300 years old

[–] merari42@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] Bach37strad@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

King me!

Guy who only knows checkers: "Boy am I stuffed. King me!"
