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. ♕

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 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
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, 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.
The wazir only moved a single space horizontally or vertically.
The name change from wazir to queen started as early as the 10th century, but the current move set dates from the late 15th century.
Actually it's still called Vizier (or something close) in several languages.
But we're talking about that piece as the most powerful in the game, which happened in Europe, where it had been called a queen for hundreds of years.
Yes, the modern, more powerful piece is still called that even in some languages in Europe, like in Turkish and several Slavic languages, like Ukrainian and Russian. In Polish it's apparently called something akin of "top general".
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.
