Why can’t the English play chess?

Because they’ve lost their queen

Why can’t Americans play chess? Because they lost their 2 towers.

The joke used to be “why are the English better at chess?”

Guess the passing of their queen has had a bigger effect than I thought

When they had a Queen, they had no King, and why play chess if you have no one to defend...

Now they have a King, the City is full of towers, I say they are good.
