        Aww. He died.

        I’m sad Arnie lost a good friend. Arnie is a questionable human, but still no one deserves to lose a life long friend

          The only bad thing I know about him is that he’s Republican. Is there more?

            Cheated on his wife, and fathered a kid with his house cleaner.

            Overall, he’s a decent human, just some stuff raises eyebrows

        Why does his ear change from oblong to round

          Looks like the image is just too compressed to distinguish his ear from his head

        I’m already keeping track of the kings and rooks for castling reasons. Remembering whether any of the 16 pawns has moved is too overwhelming and turns IRL chess into a game of who can get away with the other player’s bad memory.

          Err… Maybe I just missed the joke, but… If the pawn is in its initial position it means it hasn’t moved yet.

            Yes, you missed the joke. I know pawns can only move in one direction on the Y-axis.

    Something about a table made for chess bothers me. IDK why though. It makes sense.

      That’s not a table. It’s a thick chess board with a pedestal.

    Wonder if he’s ranked

      Just looking loosely at the board I can see he’s controlling the center in 2 if not all 3 pictures, so he’s at least got good fundamentals. Would be fun to know his rank.
