A “dick move” is a contemptibly cruel or selfish action. It doesn’t involve a “dick” making a chess move, but there have been several jokes.
“Penis-shaped figures on a chess board. Any move I make would probably be considered a ‘dick move’” was posted on Twitter on April 18, 2011. “My friend and I are playing chess with penis shaped pieces. He just made a dick move” was posted on Twitter on October 30, 2012.
“I wish there was a chess player named Richard, because then everything he does would be a Dick move” was posted on Twitter on December 2, 2013.
