 I've heard peertz & perk but I personally believe peertz is right even though I don't pronounce it like that. I call it the perk.

Same here

I’m pretty sure the one where you stretch out that middle vowel is the right one, but I say perk, because I’m american

How about Euwe?

Eh'-wuh.

Peertz.

I've heard Euwe pronounced  ervay & erva, not sure if correct.  Sounds good.

pretty sure the life master that trained me was adamant about Euwe being pronounced as 'eye-wuh', but this was years ago, so perhaps i forgot exactly what he said.

Fianchetto IS fianketto in Italian.

Right on the "ch", but it's three syllables, not four.  Fyen-ket-to

Same for Mozart's oft-mangled Don Giovanni.

HA! Bet you thought I was going to say Chess.com. 

SOrry, Chess.com, but you are 4th on my list.

But, you are new on the list. There is room for advancement if you work hard and show your dedication to me. You can start by making me supreme MOD and let me use the troll smackin' stick once in a while.

Sorry to necro but what is 3rd?
