Why did the pawn cross the road

Sightigh wins if nobody tells me a better joke before the end of the month
In 1943 or 1941, I can't remember well, Alekhine was in a chess club in Lisbon and stopped looking into a position being played by two amateurs in a club's tournament. One player had the bishop pair advantage but he was not playing correctly enough to impose his advantage and he was getting a losing position. At that time Alekhine had french nationality and he used to speak French in Lisbon. In French the Bishop is called "Fou" (joker) and it also means "foul" in French. One of the players who was accompanying Alekhine did ask to him: - Master, in such kind of positions the two "Fous" can win the game, right? Alekhine answered: Yes, two Fous (fouls) can win the game, but not three Fous (fouls)! This way he told that the player was moving his pieces like a foul and he was the third foul.
I love playing chess with old men in the park - the hard part is finding 32 of them!
(lol I love this joke)

why cant europe and America play chess together
because europe is missing a queen and America doesnt have two towers
This is a dialogue between a random chess player and a coach
Player 1: I am afraid of taking pawns with the queen in the opening. I always lose when I do.
Coach: Yes, often when you go pawn-grabbing with your queen early, you can get behind in development and your opponent can get a strong initiative. What do you usually do instead?
Player 1: I take them with my king!
Coach: ...?
