Konu: Re: Castling lingo and notation in Embassy Chess

andreas: You asked this question in 2003, before I'd ever played a large board game of Chess. Caissus, Ed, and rabbitoid all had answers for you that I find interesting. Caissus' reply answers my question about German and it appears M and C work very well in that language. That's your native tongue isn't it SMIRF Engine Reinhard?

andreas Names of new pieces in other languages 29. December 2003, 00:25:05

Is there any translation of new pieces names (Chancellor and Archibishop) in other languages? In particular, I am interested in German and Russian translations.

Ich denke auf Deutsch doch einfach "Kanzler" und "Kardinal".

not good, think of the abbreviations for notation. how about Erzbischof?

Okay,the abbreviations is an argument (many K`s),but then better for the Chancellor: "Marschall" = M,the other usual synonym for this piece and "Bischof" = B,or we use the more usual "Kardinal" and the abbreviation "C"

From the perspective of the Roman Catholic Church, there are Bishops, Archbishops, and 'special Archbishops' that are candidates for becoming the next Pope called Cardinals. You can be an Archbishop and still not be a Cardinal, but all Cardinals are at least Archbishops.

I am not sure if that adds clarity or confusion.

A Chancellor should be easier to translate into German, since that is an official Title of State. A Chancellor in American lingo can also be someone of Academic importance at a University.

Walter Montego today! So it seems that M and C are a natural choice for all of these games in German. You guys all speak that language and still would rather have A and C. I'm confused about this.
