Sorry man, didn't mean to offend you!
In our day and age, any yokel can form his opinions about the political scene of any country, and that doesn't exclude me either.
No worries man, I'm not offended!

Look at the history of chess annotation. So damn funny!
Here's a hilarious one: "1614: The white king commands his owne knight into the third house before his owne bishop."

Bishops = Thingimajigimabobs
Knights = Horsies
Queen = Queenie
King = Divine Overlord of the Kingdom
Pawn - wiener
Rook - baloney
Knight - horse meat wiener
Bishop - pepperoni
Queen - those really expensive wieners
King - the big ol' salami
I'm changing mine: the knights would be Pferds. I just like the word.

Following that trail of thought ...
Pawn = Bauer (peasant)
Rook = Turm (tower)
Knight = Springer (leaper) or Pferd (horse)
Bishop = Läufer (sprinter)
Queen = Dame (lady)
King = König (king)
Doesn't that make more sense than their English equivalents?
They would all be my minions.
Charles, I think they are named after the English hierarchy, Apart from the rooks and the pawns: I don't know where the hell they came from. Yours would make more sense, but I think the pawns should be called 'schildkröte' because they move so slowly.
Pawn - Lumberjack
Rook - Polar Bear
Knight - Mountie
Bishop - Maple Syrup dispenser
Queen - CN tower
King - The Queen
