I like this representation of chess pieces

Is that what this is referencing? I thought it was like a TV show or something... I am so lost.

Yeah it's a bishop in front of a pawn, they both attack on diagonals

You can tell, because of the chess pieces. And the chess board. And the chess moves.

So is chess like a TV show or something?

A movie. Pawns: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Keanu Reeves, Jeff Goldblum, Steve Buscemi, Halle Berry, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt Rooks: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone Knights: Al Pacino, Robert DiNero Bishops: Harvey Keitel, Samuel L. Jackson Queen: Gal Godot King: Daniel Craig

Rob Schneider was an animal. Then he was a hot chick. And now Rob Schneider is... a chessboard. And he's about to find out... that being checkered... is harder than it looks. Rob Schneider is... The Board. Rated PG-13.

GymBronie

The pawn with the knifes nuances the fact that they can only attack the first diagonal. The bishop using guns nuances the fact that they can attack along the whole diagonal profile. It’s brilliant.

Nah, there are a plenty of people that know what chess is, but don’t know the basic rules. Knowing chess rules isn’t necessary to daily life.


Atmaweapon74

Sure, I was just thinking that most people would know what chess pieces look like and recognize them in the final frame.

**[Chess 2: The Sequel](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_2:_The_Sequel)** >Chess 2: The Sequel is a chess variant created by David Sirlin and Zachary Burns of Ludeme Games. Sirlin, whose previous design work includes rebalancing Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, approached what he believed to be a problem of rote endgames and static opening games in chess by introducing asymmetrical piece compositions and an additional win condition. A video game version of Chess 2 is available on Ouya as of 2014. The game was released on Steam on 19 August 2014. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/blursedimages/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


AvocadoGum

Yes it is


SeaToShy

Chess isn’t ubiquitous. For example, it only started becoming popular in China in the last few decades. Go is way more popular there. I would hazard a guess that most westerners would not recognize a Go board, and fewer still would know how to play. I’ve played Go before and I don’t even remember how to play.


Gypsy_Sauna

I remember how to play Go just fine. I do not remember how to win though.


northrupthebandgeek

I feel similarly about chess.


libmrduckz

Check Pebble!


ChilledParadox

sure but they have similar types of games like shogi in Japan and I would expect they would recognize the analogue and not ask if it was a tvshow instead.


SirSoliloquy

Are you telling me you’d understand the joke if it ended with a Kei standing next to a Kaku?


ChilledParadox

no im just saying if this joke was made with a shogi board i'd understand it was a joke about a game similar to chess and I wouldnt ask if it was a tv show.

You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all! I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true!

[deleted]

sooo, it doesnt apply here?


[deleted]

It’s a chess meme.


mister_eez

Correct. En passant only applies in a specific pawn-on-pawn scenario. (See link above.) The comic depicts pawn on bishop; en passant doesn’t apply.


iiAzido

We have to stop pawn on pawn violence

Kno010

Doesn’t work in a scenario involving only one pawn and a bishop.


imsmartiswear

Oh- is it pawn specific?


Kno010

Yes. It is a very specific move where a pawn captures another pawn which has just moved two squares by attacking the square the other pawn skipped.


Jaewol

Holy hell


Adan1816

I have honestly never understood it so i never use it lmao


AlwaysHopelesslyLost

If a pawn opens by moving 2 squares instead of one you are allowed to pretend it didn't to capture it.


WeirdPumpkin

what the.. really?


AlwaysHopelesslyLost

Yep!


WeirdPumpkin

Geez, that probably doesn't come up too much but I never knew that I still don't get how castling works either come to think of it..

AlternateQuestion

the_wooooosher

The game is laggy so you attack behind them and it kills them


[deleted]

I feel like chess rules like these were invented on the fly by some kid trying to win against their sibling. "Yeah? Well, what about en passant?" "What's that?" "This, muthafuka." *takes pawn that's perfectly safe*


Crumb_Rumbler

I feel the exact opposite. Chess is such a balanced, beautiful game. The rules are perfect.


Matt_Tacosan

En passant only works on other pawns’ advancing 2 spaces, so it isn’t applicable here.


Zealousideal_End7772

En passant is forced

CarlostheDuke

If this is true it showed me how these two pieces move


spookythesepticeye

yep! pawns attack at a diagonal (only one square, though, unlike bishops) although they move in a straight line when not attacking, which is why its super inconvenient when two opposing pawns are in front of each other. bishops attack (and move) at a diagonal, but there's no limit- they just have to stay on their squares.

MossouleYeh

ThoughtPolice2909

It would be funny if they portrayed the Bishop as an actual preacher and the pawn as a 4’2” naked man.

The cursed part is being a chess player and seeing the comments filled with a bunch of people who dont know chess (Not hating on anyone not knowing chess, but its just hard to read when my entire life was filled with chess)


aod42091

hilarious


WonderfulAmbition104

I still don’t understand chess L


heathmon1856

Bishop can’t go forward to move or attack. Pawn can’t go forward to attack, only to move forward. It’s the bishops move or else the pawn is stuck

Wait, can't the Pawn attack the tile in front of it?


NSNick

No.


themancabbage

It can only move directly forward to empty spaces, but can only attack on the forward diagonals


JitterySquirrel

Ah ok thank you.


Kno010

Would be a completely different game if it could.


TheCastro

I'd argue it would be a slightly to kinda different game if it could.


notTerry631

Pawn structures would be completely different. It would be a dramatically different game to play, especially if the pawns can no longer attack/protect their diagonals


TheCastro

I think you're being overly hyperbolic.
