"Gross" I can sort of understand -- "grand" (auf Deutsche) but the White queen on the wrong square is just silly.
Well, at least a "chest" tournament would have no trouble gaining publicity. :)
I don't see anything wrong.

Heiner Marxen's program CHEST stands for "CHESs problem analysT", and could be used for a computer-aided solving tournament.
But encouraging such use of computers might be gross :-).
I like the error very much and think it is made ON PURPOSE. Can prove you otherwise?
A chest tournament in Sophia.
Well, I hope Sophia doesn't mind hundreds of people competing on her chest! She is going to need a few aspirin or at least a good cigarette after the events.
Be still my dirty mind...(.)(.)
in the picture the white king and the white queen are in wrong squares...

Oh yes, blame the computer.
Chest tournaments would be popular events in the USA. One could even argue for wet chest tournaments.
Victoria Secrets can be the sponsor as well as Budweiser and Fruit of the Loom.
We already have "Chest tournaments" in the US. We call them "Wet T-Shirt contests".
