You know the Queen had the same moves in the beginning as the King has right now. It took 800 years for the Queen to become a strong piece. Also the "bishop" used to an elephant in the original version which was created in India. As a person who likes chess and history this video gave me nothing, I would have love some nods into roots of chess coming from India or the rules being changed by europeans.. like come on turning the elephant into a bishop? That joke writes itself. History jokes can be more funny when they are based in actual history, it makes the people that know chuckel a bit more and the people that dont can maybe even learn something.
I beat Chas in chess, BWHAHAHA!
Yes, you did! But you shall not always win!

I did play chinese chess where the elephants move exactly two squares diagonal. I also want to learn more about the actual history of chess.
