This from Wikipedia: Chess 1.(noun. chess) A game enjoyed by Cumbrians from around early walking years through to mid-to-late teens. Forget your Kasparovs and your Deep Blues, the Cumbrian version of Chess is an outdoor sport (usually), involving being chased from either a park by the 'Parky' (Park keeper) or from a building site by the 'Watchy' (Watchman). Chess was often the culmination of a game of Hikey Dykey, or Knock-n-Nash.

Sounds West Cumbrian, never played any of those when I was younger. 

Knock-n-Nash = Knocker door run

But what the hell is Hikey Dykey!
