Not even the queen (the most powerful piece on the board) can maneuver on her own, without the assistance of someone that sat at the table to play.
When nobody sits down to play a game of chess, all pieces on the board are equally powerful in that none of them (black or white) has any real power. There is no longer a most powerful piece and king and queen become meaningless, pawns are not getting played, they are just pieces of plastic or wood.

Chess is a lot like poker. If you don't sit down at the table, what good is it to have a hand full of Kings, Queens, and Aces or a poker face? That serious look on somebody's face is no longer helping them out at anything.
Whether it's chess or poker, none of the cards or pieces do anybody any good if nobody got them to sit down at the table and play. They are just pieces of paper (like money) or plastic (like chips in poker or chess pieces).

If two people never sit down at a table and engage in the chess match, none of the pieces on the board, not even the queen (the most powerful piece) has any real power. The closer somebody gets you to the board, the more of the illusion you miss.
As long as somebody can get you to play chess, they can also get you to do what they want you to do.

The worst kind of game (or sport) is the one that seems designed to be taken seriously. Games (and sports) are the opposite of anything seeious, and there are already enough people in the world always wearing a silly looking game face, a kind of poker face that makes them look and sound more serious than they actually are.
Chess, checkers, they're both games. Warning shots, warning barks, anything with the word warning in front of it seems meant to be taken seriously, and yet that still doesn't mean they came from a serious person, any more than mandates, restrictions, or laws.

Chess has a lot of double standards feminists don't mention when whining about social justice, like a queen being able to move freely while the king can move one space at a time, and it's a lot like life, though life is not a game to everyone.
The queen is the most free piece on a chess board, and yet feminists still try to claim they are marginalized somehow, when really they only were in the past on the surface, though those times are in the past, assuming they are exactly as bad as feminists describe them in terms of historical accuracy. Female children don't get ass whoopings from authority figures such as parents, in what way have females always not had it made in life? It's males that are fucked, they get the short end of the stick on everything.

When somebody says something is chess not checkers, they're implying that it is somehow more serious, or to be taken more seriously than checkers if it's chess, even though they are both games. Not everything in life is a board game, so the worst kind of game is one that seems designed to be taken seriously when games are the opposite of serious.
