Just thought I'd take this opportunity to double-check, but how do you feel about chess memes/comics/etc in this community @jalda@sopuli.xyz?

Who's the artist?
It took some digging to find it. The above 4 panel comic is shared everywhere, and for a long time. I found this post, which has 2 more panels, and the artist name:
www.buttersafe.com Alex Culang and Raynato Castro
I have a new favorite comic now
In response to your question I donโt mind it but gives the categories side of my brain anarchychess or chessmemes vibes.
Thanks for the input - that's exactly my dilemma. I've been posting on AnarchyChess too, but the AnarchyChess from reddit that inspired the AnarchyChess community on lemmy was more for highly ironic shitposting, so depending on how strict we want to be, this comic and normal memes wouldn't really work there.
There doesn't seem to be a separate "Chess Memes" community on Lemmy yet, and I suppose I could just create one, but I also don't know if the need is there to split the already small communities again. For now, I figure I'll just feel out what the mods/communities in @chess@lemmy.ml and @AnarchyChess@sopuli.xyz want.
Pretty much what I was thinking too, not quite unhinged to where it could slot in anarchychess. So it works. Iโm mostly just happy to be seeing chess memes
Big Salarian energy.
It would be nice to also say when the other pieces can be eliminated too
OK, but now evasion is no longer possible.
