Whilst there is social mobility and a lowly Pawn can become a Queen, albeit with a risky journey few survive, it is better than the world it portrays I suppose.
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

The most racist game in the world is 8 ball. The white ball smashes all the colored balls into dark holes and saves the black one for last. The most politically correct game is ten pin bowling, where the big, black ball smashes all the white pins with red necks.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

This makes me want to go bowling. If only the ball would cuss at the pins in Sam Jackson's voice as it rolled toward them, it would be the perfect game.

I went bowling with my kids the other day for the first time in probably more than a decade. My 7 year old daughter beat me in the first game (with gutter rails up). I smashed her in the next game, though.

I've had my ass handed to me by one of the Polgar sisters, and that bit of information will definitely help us to answer the op.
