Rook c1
 
According to Stockfish Sunset missed closing out the game with Queen b1. Qb1 is advantageous (-4.65), but in a novice game this gives a chance for Sunset to blunder and Twi to come back. After all she has more material and black’s king is out in the open.
 
If Sunset played Rook c1 instead she would have checkmated Twilight after 9 moves:  
1. … Rc1 2.Bd1 Qc4 Bishop body blocks the rook, black queen moves to block e2 & f1  
3.Nf6+ Kf7 4.Ra1 Rxa1 Twi checks the enemy king and forfeits her rook. Even Applejack would give up here.  
5.f4 Rxd1+ If the King recaptures then the other rook comes to the first rank. That would be checkmate.  
6.Kf2 Qxf4+ 7.Kg2 Rb3 8.Nfe4 Qf3+ 9.Kh2 Rxd2+ 10.Kg1 Qg2# 0-1

It’s not quite checkmate. Twilight can defend by moving her bishop between her king and Sunset’s queen. However, I think Sunset could still pull off a victory this way. If she responds to that by moving her rook back to be directly next to the bishop, then she can counter the defense pretty easily. The bishop is stuck there, the king can only move directly away from it and Sunset’s pieces, Twilight’s rook can’t do anything without putting itself in the line of fire without actually changing the situation, and any defensive play or check she could set up with her knights would take too long to do any good. From that point, it would be fairly straightforward for Sunset to maneuver her other rook and queen into position to set up an actual checkmate. Of course, the fact that Twilight still has both knights does complicate that.

So, are sunset’s “sleeves” actually sleeves or bands around her upper arms? They definitely appear to be the latter here.

The position of chessboard is wrong.
 
Right bottom corner to every player should be white, not black.
 
Either the girls are too caught up in a game to notice that they should turn the board 90 degrees, or animators are just being lazy.

Unless it’s a joke (which doesn’t seem to be) I mean I literally searched on Derpibooru and nothing seem to be showing Sunset Shimmer playing chess with Sci-Twi “in the books” except this one
