Common Chess terms I CANNOT STAND

Yeah rules need to be tighter to ensure people only win legitimately.  They have no outside help covered at least, but annoying behavior is too vague and subjective. If you can't outplay the opponent using strictly chessic means you simply don't deserve to win.  If you fart at the board it should be a forced resignation at worst, 30 minutes cut off (in g/60 time controls) at best.  

Haha, then an angry rant about how it's all the organizer's fault because the venue only offers bean burritos for lunch.

BTW I am the total opposite. I love saying, "castles" and can't stand it when people say, "castle."

It's like saying, "turnip" or "bumbleweed." If you're going to say the move, say it right. "d3, bishop-e7, castles, castles, c3, d6.." That's how I say it.

Anybody with me? Or does everyone subscribe the Tarkanian school of thought?

Daniel, I wonder what the titled players would say if one of their own strayed from the path and said "castled" as opposed to "castles"? 

 If I become a 2200 National Master ever, I am gonna say CASTLED!  :)

I am totally with you! Castles is the correct form. (He) castles! It's used as a verb. It's not the plural form of the noun.

Nooooo Krestez, I am only against saying "castles" alone.  Saying 'he castles' is fine. 

 Saying pawn to E4, Knight to D6, Castles......Yucky!!

according to analysis i conducted, white gains the advantage after castles queenside with ideas of g4 h4 etc.

Ahhhhh iiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee BOOOOM!!!!!  *Tarkanian's head explodes*

Now the Borg Queen is just trying to suck up.  Borg, you don't get any extra points on your rating by doing that!  :(

Litotes is not uncommon either.

That's hurtful.  :(

As has been pointed out, this isn't plural. It's the third person singular present indicative. Welcome to the English language.

Actually, this is because there's a big difference between conducting analysis and making an evaluation; a difference that would not be conveyed by your phrasing of "looked at the frickin game".

Why not say it like that? It's one word fewer than your preference, and conveys the same information :)

Assuming you're just trolling, but hey.

I like Greco's "king changes" because it reminds me of the days when the process required three moves--the king steps forward, the rook moves, then the king makes his leap (moving as a knight). That's the old chess that I introduced to Europe 1200 years ago. Queens and bishops were less powereful then. In fact, the queen was still an advisor; the bishop still an elephant.

Many years ago, I knew this guy who would be conducting analysis of chess positions and practically every move he would say "Box" (from the old international notation for "only move").  "Box, Box, Box"...errr.... 

David, even your LAST NAME is Plural!!  You have no clout, having that be the case.  :(

The ones that I find the most annoying are "White/black is for choice", "with a long-term (or slight) pull", and "on account of ...".

I definitely say present-tense "castles", because the past tense would be silly in the contexts I use it in (e.g., "I'm thinking about Nxe4, Nxe4, castles kingside, ...").

Also playable is 29.Nh5!, with a dynamically balanced position ;-)

ther all just tryn to sound a right smarter then you. paym no mind.

If you take that out, it's not a complete sentence.
