I am merely illustrating the inherent power of the king over the queen.
Ignoramus.
I see you have an Irish flag maybe that makes you an ignorseamus.
maybe i didn't explain that?
edit: ignorseamus i won't say anything about that since your from ireland.
I'd say the game has more in common with class struggle than as a metaphor for gender equality. For example: What could be more satisfying to a budding Marxist than for his lowly pawns to rise up, surround and kill the opposing King? Or for the ardent capitalist to gain the advantage of a single pawn, nursing it along and finally cashing it in for a mighty Queen?

As the king is the most important piece on the board and the queen runs around looking after him 🙄🙄😲🙄🙄
It is a game that dates back thousands of years to ancient India/China ( there is argument as to which, but india has greater claim).
In ancient feudal times, men played the game to avert war. so it stands to reason that the king takes the higher place in the game.
And if any PC fascist tries to change it, i will be first in line to take up arms and start the revolution.
