Chess Game Gets Real

This is a dark humor joke that uses the language of chess to make a comparison to 9/11. America loses both towers (like the twin towers) and England loses its Queen which is a comparison to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who is often called the "Queen of England".

• Why doesn’t the US want to play chess with the UK? The US is already down 2 towers, and the UK has an unkillable queen.
• I guess in British chess they play without a queen... But in American chess they play without two towers.
• How do you know America's bad at chess? They lost 2 towers!
• Why do US suck at chess? We lost both our towers. Why is England so good at chess? They still have their queen. Why does Russia suck at chess? They only have pawns.
