Guess The Word! - Game #2

Back to the game, ChenGJ is freak'n me out a little bit by scoring for the third day in a row with...
 

The nineth word was suggested by MKWIIPhenom:
11 letters, starts with P, 3 points.

P _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

actually i just spotted a flaw with one of my thoughts... but:

can Ng6 be countered? (square under no threat)

what about promoting to queen on d8? (double check)

in both instances king must move but is unable.

it's a messy looking puzzle to me. it grates.

Ng6   Bb1xg6
d8 is illegal, puts the white King in check.

parenthesis

okay m8 fair enough, i'll stand corrected.

still looks messy to me though.

It's supposed to look messy.  It's about getting caught up in the details, minutiae. 

penultimate

paraphrase

Parathyroid, paratrooper

patroonship, paucispiral

How about protagonist? How about easier words like a 2 letter word for myself such as M_?

OK wdaly - Time for a Bonus word.

For one point and only one guess per letter, a three letter word starting with M.  Any second guesses will be ignored unless repeated by another player.

M _ _

Hint: The word is not "moi".

Back to the nineth Primary word, second letter is R.

11 letters, starts with PR, still 3 points.

P R _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

(Two guesses per letter revealed)

Mod

predictable

premonition

Thanks rebdawg. How about mad. This game is driving me mad and my wife thinks I don't have far to ge to get there.
