Let's hear what ya got?

Sometimes, after a few drinks, I say take instead of capture. I never say eat.

Once, I said horse instead of knight.

The white king: Elvis.

The black king: Michael Jackson.

Sometimes I call the Queens Thelma and Luoise, but only when they're traded.

Calling a rook a "castle."

pawn=button

rook on 7th= pig on the 7th

patzer=fish=woodpusher=us

busted=virtually lost position (minimally)

knight = this little horsey piece

I love the kings part.

We do call Knight - a horse, but it is not good for tv and newpappers, so the official name is Jumper.

Queen is called Lady.

Rook is cannon.

Bishop is Hunter.

Pawn is pawn.

Serbian anotation.

K - Kralj = King

Q (D) - Kraljica (there cant be 2 K so she is called D - Dama = Lady )

B (L) - Lovac = Bishop

N (S) - Skakac = Knight

R (T) - Top = Rook

i love that button for pawn, and jumper for knight...hilarious.

In our language I say to the knight "konj" (horse) too instead of the official "skakač" (jumper). I also say to the bishop "tekač" (runner) instead of the official "lovec" (hunter). I guess this slang comes from knight being "skakač" (jumper) - bishop can "run" from on corner to the other in one move compared to the jumping knight.

I know there's more out there. Or maybe it needs to be created?

hopper=knight

castling queenside on the wall chart=going 0-3 in a tourney

scrawed=busted (early Joel Benjaminism)

hold the phone=too many hands in the post-mortem (Walter Brownese)

hang one's face=completely screw up

going for the bucks=a last-round game for prize money

lol at castling queenside

haha yea that was pretty funny

Two Aussies (not me) having a chess game.

1: Check, mate.

2: It's only check, mate.

1: Yeah mate, it's check, mate.

2: But it's only check, mate.

You get the picture.

"Ten years ago Garry Kasparov introduced a new term into the glossary of the game: "chess tourist.""

Regarding Nigel Short: "Recently Nigel moved into semi-retirement and declared himself only a "chess tourist" with no further ambitions for the world title."

howler = a blunder so bad that you can resign after making it

hung the chess set = hanging several pieces in several moves...

I often refer to rooks as "hogs" , have heard others do so as well....

when driving I see open lanes as open files 

I see bad/clogged traffic as a closed position and merging traffic as bishops swooping in on open diagonals.....

the list for me goes on but its embarrassing ...... I have the "bug" bad and its been decades ! 

From a friend I stole the nickname "assassins" for knights. I think it's hilarious.

stallion = well placed/powerful knight

mule = poorly placed/useless knight

I always say take, even though I'm never drunk :P

When I wrote "rook" into an english-polish dictionary it said a polsih word meaning "cheater" :P Will that work as a name for a rook?
