Is chess actually a True & Honest woman's power fantasy?

[Nickel Silver]

Recently I asked if a pawn promotion to a queen was a troon power fantasy, but another Kiwi offered a different perspective:

All the pieces are female except for the king. That's why a pawn cannot promote to a king. Chess is very transphobic but also a feminist power fantasy (just like null)

What do you think?

Why would a bishop or knight be female? The queen being the most powerful piece on the board does make her kind of a girlboss though.

Andrew Tate had a great explanation of how chess is actually an alpha male game. I'm paraphrasing, but it went something like this: Chess is like running a business. You are the king and can move anywhere. Your employees are pawns. The queen is less powerful than the king because women are weaker than men, and you can promote your female pawns to queens, like promoting your female employees to girlfriend status. He forgot to add the part about pimping out your queen, but his explanation was pretty accurate.

Why would a bishop or knight be female?

Because only the English refer to those pieces as bishops and knights, and England is one big progressive stunning and brave feminist island complete with female clergy and female peers

What else are they supposed to be called? I’m American and rook/castle is the only piece I’ve seen with different names. Even if chess had been invented in England it was hundreds of years before the stunning bravery. Maybe your theory is just stupid.

We call them horses and officers in the civilized world

Fascinating. I have never heard these in my entire life. The internet tells me they are used in Russian and by retards who haven’t played before.
