do you say eats, takes or captures when a peice is captured?

takes

“absorbs”

and alternatively “gobbles”

any

is sacrificed is also good

It's 'dakbaia' in my language which is more generally used for 'to pluck' or 'to pick' (as picking a flower) or 'to win' (as for example in a sports game). 'Witin king ba dakban' ('He or she took the king'), 'king' being a borrowing into my language from English for the concept of 'king' in general, not just the chess king.

My dad says eats, and so does the rest of my family, but I say takes.

I usually say, “dang it, why didn’t I see that!” 🤣

I say takes

I personally say ransomed and instead of checkmate I say executed via firing squad if it’s via queen, rook or bishop

I say take or captured

And promotion is freeing POWs or just polygyny

Yeah, captures or takes

also "piece" not "peice

takes
