Introducing the anti-queen - It can only move where the queen can't move, within a two-square radius Fairy Piece

What it means

A chessboard shows a strange anti-queen piece surrounded by green arrows marking its possible moves, while red Xs mark squares it cannot reach. The joke is a parody of chess fairy pieces: the anti-queen can move only where the queen cannot, making an absurdly constrained inverse of the most powerful chess piece. It is used as a reaction to an overcomplicated or ridiculous new rule.
