Well, we have "un caballo en la banda es un penco", or, more crude, "caballo por los rincones, ganarás por los cojo***".
"A knight on the rim is dim" in other languages?
Sort:
Penco=nag.

By the way, German is Hell.
"Cavalier au bord, cavalier mort" - Knight on the side, dead knight.
Een paard aan de kant, is een schande voor het land. (Dutch proverb.)
Literally: "A horse (knight) on the side, is a shame for the country."
I recently found out that it was dr. Terrasch who first posed this. I'm assuming in German.
"Cavalo no canto é desencanto." In BR-PT.
El Knighto on rimmo is mucho bad.
Hi everyone. I've been aware of the common phrase "A knight on the rim is dim" (or "grim") for many years, and was just recently made aware of the German equivalent "Ein Springer am Rand bringt Kummer und Schand". I'm curious about equivalent mnemonics in other languages, as well. I'm particularly interested to know if the Spanish language has one.
