(((Knight))).

dzi here, a horse *dabs*

It's called a horse here though

It's called that way in French and English because it represents armored cavalry, ie, a knight. It's not rocket science, jumper is probably the most retarded name of all 3.

it's knight

we call the chess piece knight
the equivalent in Shogi or Japanese chess is called Keima or Cinnamon Horse
Cinnamon used to be very valuable back then

I think the worst countries are those that call the queen 'general'.

It's called the leaper here.

cavalier comes from caballus which meant horse, so...

Yes, it means horse rider; knight. I don't understand where you're getting at.

caballo and caballero are two different words with the same root but caballero is the piece and caballo is not

over here, it's a caballo, horse in english

he gave you a chance not to sound retarded, but you missed it.

The worst countries are those who call the bishop a "fool". WTF?

Genuinely don't understand your point. I don't mind sounding retarded, but I doubt there's any actual substance behind your post or his. Cavalier might be derived from a Latin root meaning "horse", but it means "knight". That's all there is to it.

I made you write this, Frenchie, that's good enough.

>worst
explain

They're just the worst. What is there to explain?

>Bishop
You mean "Walker"

I think it's only called "fool" in French. It apparently comes from the "foule" root which means "elephant" - fîl (فیل) in Old Persian, and as we know, Persians and Indo-Iranians were the first ones to play chess. The resemblance with the Old French "fol"(fool in English) led to it being called "fou".

you mean "Fool"

Runner more like

rider
shooter

Geesus i guess you call the rook "liner" and the pawn "stepper"

makes total sense

>shooter
cool.

Here some people call him Jumper

yes.

based.

No.
Pawn is peasant and rook is tower.

rook is tower, pawn is farmer

'ratsu', basically means steed

Pawn - pion(pawn)
Knight - cavalier(knight) or cheval(horse)
Bishop - fou(fool)
Rook - Tour(tower)
Queen - reine(queen) or dame(lady)
King - roi(king)

Skoczek meaning Jumper.

Any country that calls it the Queen is fucking retarded. How on earth did you even came up with the idea that the most powerful chess figure could be called "the Queen".
In Polish it's hetman.

Goniec meaning Messenger.

the queen is the most power figure in court

No it's not, especially not on the battlefield.

think of the queen as the diplomatic arm of a kingdom

It's at (horse). Bishop is fil (elephant), rook is kale (castle) and queen is vezir (vizier).

lame

cool

Horse is sadly already used by Game of the Goose players and jumper can make some people thinking it's a kangaroo.

we call bishop = camel, rook = elephant, knight = horse, queen = vizier

We always called it an L-pony.

pretty weak excuse when chess was around longer than game of the goose and knowledge of kangaroos.

Based

Wtf? No, it's called Cavalier
אתה קורא לכלי הזה אביר או פרש?

We call it Runner

Pawn - Bonde (farmer)
Knight - Springer (leaper/jumper). Patzers call it hest (horse) cause they keep mixing up the runner and the jumper.
Bishop - Lǿper (runner)
Rook - Tårn (tower)
Queen - Dronning (queen)
King - Konge (king)

Pawn - Sotilas (soldier)
Knight - Ratsu (mount/steed)
Bishop - Lähetti (courier)
Rook - Torni (tower)
Queen - Kuningatar (queen)
King - Kuningas (king)

Pawn - Ragli (infantry)
Knight - Parash (Cavalier/Horse rider)
Bishop - Ratz (runner)
Rook - Tzari'akh (steeple)
Queen - Malka (queen)
King - Melekh (king)

פרש, שמשמעו אביר

Absolutely right.

literally the =

We call it alfil apparently means "the elephant" in arab

פרש זה מישהו שרוכב על סוס, בין אם הוא חייל עם שריון או לא

Pawn - Pion or colloquially Pionek (which apparently comes from French - I always thought it's from Polish word for "vertical")
Knight - Skoczek - jumper
Bishop - Goniec - messenger
Rook - Wieża - tower
Queen - Hetman - field marshal in XVII century Poland
King - Król - king

Also I like to think the pawn transforms into a queen when reaching the other side of the board as a reward of taking a weak unit to the other side of the field and him transforming it's because he gained knowledge from the inside of the enemy camp

Pawn - Peão (peon)
Knight - Cavalo (horse)
Bishop - Bispo (bishop)
Rook - Torre (tower)
Queen - Rainha (queen)
King - Rei (king)

The pawn transforms into whatever you'd like (usually a queen would trump both a bishop and a rook, but I guess there could be situations where a horse can do other stuff).

God, I hate women.

Fuck off frognigger

bet you unironically call jumper, snownigger

Pawn = bidak
Knight = kuda(horse)
Bishop = menteri (ministry)
Rook = benteng
Queen = ratu
King = raja

nigger

cavalier isn't knight but mounted warrior
chevalier is knight

>cavalier isn't knight but mounted warrior
What do you think a knight is?

>chevalier is knight
wrong. you can upgrade the knight to a chevalier and then to a paladin.

I'm surprised you don't call it Flugpferd or some similar shit.

why the heck would i do this?

Because that's what you germans do. Slap 2 simple words together for something more specific. Your plan is literally "flying thing" and turtle is "toad with shield".

>play Teutons
>upgrade Paladin
>no husbandry upgrade available
G*rms

yeah, it's super practical.

what do you need paladin for when you have teuton knights in rams?

Same, minus the meme spelling.

Until you find actual toad with a shield.
