If you rotate a chessboard by 90 degrees it's no longer a chessboard, by your reasoning at least.

Yes, that's exactly how it works

So referees at chess tournaments are not, in fact, looking at a chess board, but instead a checkers board. How can they possibly judge a game of chess then?

As a trained and certified Chess referee I can tell you - IT'S REALLY HARD ;)
