Listen up, smoothbrain! This is peak dark humor. In chess, you got Queens and Rooks, which people sometimes call 'towers'. The joke says the English lost their Queen (referring to the monarch or the piece) and the US lost their towers, referencing the 9/11 tragedy. You're so dense, you probably thought the US only had one tower before 2001.
