What the hell is up with the board and notation? The board is off by 90 degrees, the bottom left square should be black (unless we're looking from the side, but the labels suggest we're not, because the letters are across the bottom like normal). And then if you actually look at the file and rank labels, they don't match across the board—the leftmost file is marked "a" on the bottom, but "h" on the top, and the ranks are the same way.

They specifically designed it to annoy chess players, LMAO.

Also, technically, the pawn can be promoted to any kind of piece.

Yeah very positive message, you can be whatever you want on the promised land
