If chess were a new game released today, I imagine a lot of these "why'd they make it political" types would probably object to the fact that the most powerful character in the game is the only one that's clearly stated to be a woman.
Wokeness is why she's not in a bikini or hot. Look at this. ♕
End WOKENESS

If chess came out today, some mod author would give her huge badonkers
Some mod authors have most definitely already done that. Only 250$ USD for a hand carved set on Etsy.
Sometimes I see a nude depiction and wonder to myself if it's artsy or pornographic. In this case she's fingering herself, so that answers that question
What's Botticelli's Venus doing with her hair?
Probably not much, her hand is on her thigh. Though I guess it's possible that a goddess has articulated hair. If you zoom in on this chess piece her finger is clearly extended and going between her legs
I think the hand is covering the critical parts, not playing. Then again looking at the face, she seem to be enjoying it quite a bit
What's the vaginal equivalent of "if you shake it more than twice you're playing with it"?
I could see myself owning this if I had the money
I was about to make a point but I'm scared what results will come up in google
At least she's spiky... Spicy
And now I want to 3D print myself a couple sets of pieces - One that is Woman in Bikini's in Pin-up poster poses, and the other in Hot AF Beach boys and the like in poses accenting there form.
Bet you it already exists. Either it's been made and sold physically, or someone else has an STL you can use.
Amateurs. unzips
Well, originally, the piece is Vizier - king's advisor, the gender of which isn't specified. (but implied to be male?)
So what you're saying is that switching it from Vizier to Queen isn't about progressive feminism, but instead about monogamy and heteronormative gender roles? Way to ruin it for everybody! 😠
Idk if I'm saying that, but it's definitely woke. They should've came up with a new character instead of just gender-swapping an existing one!
The Vizier also only moved one space at a time, like the king but without significant importance. It wasn't until the French changed the Queen in the 1600s to move as far as she wants that she was liberated from the shackles of the patriarchy.
Don't let your pawns transition to female: promote to knight or rook
Bishop? Fuck off with that chastity thing, they're probably non-binary perverts with genders or something.
Well, not if chess were created today, the way it was created originally. It took until 997 for The Queen to replace The Chancellor/Minister, and even then she could only move one square diagonally only. It took till the 1400's for her to gain a flying mount, or whatever the explanation is for her current OP movement status.
Bishops replaced Elephants in the 1200s, but could only move 2 squares, diagonally, at a time.
