Don't ask why white had his rooks upside down. I don't get why he did that either.

Obviously the Inverted Castle maneuver, as popularized by Nathan Fillion in the TV thriller Castle.

He had his rooks upside down because he's hardkoor

Don't ask why white had his rooks upside down.

Usually an upside-down rook is used when you need a second or third queen of the same colour on the board. (Having a fourth queen is rarely an issue — if you're not smart enough to achieve checkmate swiftly when you've got three, then you probably wouldn't be smart enough to earn a fourth anyway.)

4069921 I think he just did it to be different, to be honest.

And just like that, I wanna play you in a game of chess.
