Prefer it funny? The parody versions
The Pieces Refuse Orders. The chess pieces have stopped taking orders and want to vote on every move.
Chess by Committee. Every move is decided by a committee, and the committee is still meeting.
Check Mated. The king and queen have got married in the middle of the game, and everyone is at the wedding.
Choose “Parody” before you start and one of these is picked at random.
