Alfiere in italian is the flagman
|

bishop = lovac
in croatian "lovac" means "hunter".
So, in France, you have four mad pieces on a chess board?

I remember losing once to a Scholar's mate!

Why not? 
in french:
R=roi (king)
D=dame (queen)
F=fou (bishop)
C=cavalier (knight)
T=tour (rook)
P=pion (pawn)
And a "remonte thread" as well

Rook (english) has the translation to Torre in portuguese, that literally means Tower.
Is rook the same in other languages? What it means "rook"? Is it freux in french or grajo in spanish?
(Saatkrähe in german?)
And funny that we call C=Cavalo, not Cavaleiro (Cavalier), that is subtle. It is a Horse, not the Knight nor the horseman, but the animal.
Togoy, I think spanish has the same strange translation: Caballo is the animal, not the man who uses it, that would be Caballeiro, isnt it?
And what it mean pawn? Or pion?
In portuguese, "peão" is more likely a low qualified farmer, and some places say "peão" is the one who ride horses, so "peão=knight"
Very confusing all this!
Cheers,
Beco.
