King should be replaced by an abstract name.

I really wish to improve in the game but my mindset is not in the right frame while dealing with royalty .  i wanted to obey their order.  i don't want to play game with them. If king were exchange with someone else,  wouldn't it be better.

Oh.

Because I fail to treat some people as different. But my heart says(also rules) that different person have different ability.  I am one of the person that has fallen victim to predatory voices  that all person can reach equal height with training and dedication. Now that voices made me a person which has got an extremely awful taste My intuition are shattered..I began to view everybody as equal. So,  whenever i see king on the chess board i view him as equal and don't think too much about him and as a result play a miserable game.

My family used to live in a paper bag in the middle of the road.

If some piece in chess must be renamed, it's the Queen. Promotion makes two Queens? Awkward.

Two's company, three's a crowd.

In Chinese Chess, it is also called King. But Chinese chess have no queen.

In the spirit of egalitarianism, Emperor Augustus Caesar changed his official title to "First Citizen".

… so we could rename the King to "Big Pawn".

I'm not touching that one...

a politically correct term would be "team leader."

First of all, my parents are chinese. Also, chinese chess is called; Go. It is a 19 by 19 grid with white and black pieces. All the pieces are little circles. THERE ARE NO kings,queens,pawns,bishops,knight, or rooks of any sort!

If you want, u could name the king, priest becuz the bishop is also religious status and the High Priest is the highest, therefor, king = High Priest

It would really be awkward if you could promote to King! although that would be kind of cool too, as your opponent would have to give mate to two kings to win. Or maybe you would actually capture the first, then give mate to the second?

Go is a Japanese game. FYI
