The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 19, 2020

Emma Queen got rooked.

…And the prom king is…Ted Knight

Which one is Mongo?

Yeah, but she can only move diagonally. You’re the one with the moves, your Highness!

Clever.

Queen For A Day!

Where did I park my horse?

she may be the prom queen, but she still can’t walk in a straight line

This, despite her checkered past!

The queen got rooked!

Weird. Normally one should go for the pawn (promotion).

The “knight” in the lower right made me chuckle.

Big Blue tallied the votes.

maybe having the bishop as a queen isn’t a bad idea

Did Queenie get pawned?

But she’s really just pawn in the scheme of things.

Yeah, that’s what you get for being the mean girl queen.

She was rooked.

Backgammon anyone?

He got Rooked, they must have used a checkers-board, or perhaps “Let My People Go.”

This is not her (k)night.

Only pawns can become pawn-queens.

It wasn’t her knight.

Wow – even the chess schools are diversified. Way to go!
