About my design

by TGWA   
Yeah it's a chess joke. I did a chess joke which only .05% of the population will understand, but here it is.

Even without being a chess geek, I'm loving it.

The king could totally move to the right and take the knight after it takes the queen if it decides to at all! Or move right diagonal for more pressure!

I don't know much about chess, but this seems wrong.



Meanwhile, I like the style of this a lot.

ha! interesting chess analysis where you neither know what a fork is and have the king putting pressure on its own queen.

incidentally the king and queen should be saying "we're forked"

hahahahahahaha... i've used this pun many a time in a chess game.

saying "fork you!" when you fork your opponent is also quite cathartic. ;]



but... as chess player, you are the king and the king is you, therefore having the king speak, as he is in the design, is correct.



and yes. OBVIOUSLY white gets black's knight after the queen gets captured, but the loss of a queen can sometime mean death for the king--especially if the other queen is still on the board--therefore i'd STILL be saying "oh fork!" XD



with regard to the design itself... haha... i don't much care for the colors. :P

I'd like to see the whole board and the other pieces.

In fact, I'd like to see you do a chess design with a wordless joke - if possible.

Nice... Perhaps just "I'm forked" or wordless
