No idea why it is a tower.

Кopoль Korol' "king"
Кopoлeвa Koroleva "queen"
Cлoн Slon "elephant"
Кoнь Kon' "horse"
Лaдья Ladya - old Russian sail ship akin to the galley
Пeшкa Peshka "pawn"

I suppose queen, king and pawn are pretty same in all languages, but otherones differ.
In Russian bishop is elephant and rook is ladia - old russian ship like dragkar.

>>76208809
One of the most overrated wrestlers ever.

Melech - King
Malka - Queen
Tzariah - Turret (Rook)
Ratz - Runner (Bishop)
Parash - Rider (Knight)
Ragli - Infantry (Pawn)

>>76208955
The queen is also called the firuz in Russian, meaning prime minister or high councilor (the word is of Persian origin, as chess first reached Russia from Persia).

>Brazil
>Rei, Dama, Bispo, Cavalo, Torre, Peão

>>76209185
In medieval forms of chess, the queen was a very weak piece that could only move one square at a time, the modern queen movement came about in the 1400s-1500s and was said to be controversial as many people found it hard to swallow that a female could be the most powerful piece on the board. But like you said, in Russia it's never been called a queen anyway.

>>76208657
Roi, Dame, Fou, Cavalier, Tour, Pion
>King, Lady, Jester, Horseman, Tower, Pawn

>>76209297
As late as the 18th century, Russian chess rules also allowed the queen to make an L-shaped move like a knight.

Yeh the rules were not fully standardized until the mid-19th century, especially regarding pawn promotion. In some regions of Europe, pawns could only promote to a piece already captured, to the piece corresponding to the file they were on, or the piece corresponding to the file the pawn started on. Unrestricted pawn promotion was a British thing and Americans just copied the British chess rules.

For example, Philidor's "Chess Analysis" speaks of pawns only being able to promote to a piece that had been previously captured.

Most of the pieces could only move one square in medieval chess, the rules were gradually changed because games would take literally forever.

>>76209883
IIRC the pieces still had the same basic movement (bishops moved diagonally, rooks up/down/left/right, etc) but only one square at a time.

>>76209185
Ah yes, I forget about it

>>76208899
Sotilas is sometimes also called moukka aka peasant

>>76209297
Bishops also have a lot of different names depending on the cunt, for example in France it's traditionally called the joker or jester. "Bishop" was the English term for the piece.

d4 openings can be fighting games...you just have to wait for midgame and you can't launch an immediate attack in most cases.

Too bad, Britain hasn't had many good chess players since the 19th century, pretty much just Nigel Short.

>>76211989
The Soviet chess machine was so dominant for so long. Partially because they cheated. A lot. I mean, Soviet grandmasters had a room full of analysts giving them the best possible moves. A lot of them didn't want to do this, but it was mandated by the state. Spassky is lucky he didn't get gulaged for losing to Fischer.

>>76212253
Kasparov said his heroes coming up were Fischer and Korchnoi, of course in the Soviet Union mentioning them was verboten. It's more likely that Karpov would have gotten a visit from the KGB if he'd lost to Korchnoi in the 78 world championship because losing two of those things in a row, one to an American and the other to an exiled dissident, would have been more than the Soviet regime could deal with.

>The English term king is derived from the Anglo-Saxon cyning, which in turn is derived from the Common Germanic *kuningaz. The Common Germanic term was borrowed into Estonian and Finnish at an early time, surviving in these languages as kuningas.

wait what, I thought they were called Castle.

>>76213817
Castling is a move done using King and Rook
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castling

>>76213896
I and everyone around me has always called them 'Castle'. Apparently it's an archaic name that was never popular to begin with. Actually it's more likely just the natural name, as it evokes the image of a castle or tower.

no such thing as "proper" names, at most recent standards but they're far removed from random primary school kids playing chess. there are dozens of names for each piece, throughout history and throughout nations.

pawn: Kmet (peasant)
king: kralj
queen: kraljica
rook: trdnjava (fort)
bishop: lovec (hunter)
knight: skakač (jumper)

Carlsen still has a gap down to his closest competitors, but Kramnik, So, Aronian and Caruana are all within striking distance. As far as I know, Carlsen is not going to play classical chess until the Sinquefield Cup, so one excellent tournament performance is all it will take for one of them to overtake him.

>>76232743
do you think he's finished?

To be honest, I think he's just in the "gf valley". Getting a new partner is always bad for your chess.

Dumping her will only make it worse. He will have to get used to it, and when he does that, he will not only get back to 2880, but also have a gf.
