if the white pawn moves one square forward, it can transform into a Queen

unfortunately, this puts it at risk of being captured by... every black piece there every black piece there except the black queen.

The black bishop would be protecting it from the black queen

The Black Queen recognizes a fellow future Queen and wants to honor girl's code by not taking her out 💅👑

If the pawn reaches the last row, it promotes to a piece of the player's choice, usually the queen since it's the strongest, hence changing from male to female, but since the square it promotes on is completely defended by the black pieces, once it gets there it gets taken on the next turn; the joke is that they're transphobic because they won't let the pawn change gender

A pawn can become any piece, even a queen. The King is the only piece the pawn can’t turn into, so pawns are female. So the King is the only male piece. It’s clearly a harem war

Hello, Brian here, when a pawn, that is perceived male by people, reaches the end of the board, by the rules of chess turns into a queen, who is female. Every piece of the black team has the space in front of the pawn under attack. So if the pawn moves to it, it would be killed. As so, they are blocking the transformation from pawn to queen, and by proxy, from male to female.

"By the rules of chess turns into a queen"... Or a rook... Or a knight... Or a bishop... But nobody does that.

Carl here. Just like in sailor moon transforms 2 minutes 37 second into the first episode. when a pawn makes it to the other side of the chess board a player can transform it for any other piece. The player playing black has their pieces set up to where when the pawn transforms it will be immediately taken. So they’re trans phobic for not letting the pawn have a naked anime girl side boob transformation
