Castling Confusion
[edit]In this article it states that the King (when Castling) is the only piece other than the knight that can jump. On the page on Castling it states that the move may only take place if the intervening squares are empty, but historically could involve a "jump". This page should be clarified so as not to mislead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.160.96.106 (talk) 15:28, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- I don't see where it says that the king jumps over another piece when castling, although it does say that a piece jumps over another when castling. The king should be moved first and then the rook jumps over the king, in a manner of speaking. It does need to be clarified. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 15:51, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- I attempt to clarify the situation by making this edit. Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 16:41, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
Wrong translation of Serbo-Croatian top
[edit]It isn't 'tower', it's 'cannon'. However, I don't understand how I can edit the table - it seems to be linked to a Wiktionary table, which, however, doesn't include translations.--82.137.115.143 (talk) 14:50, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
- Never mind, I found it.--82.137.115.143 (talk) 14:52, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Bulgarian King Piece
[edit]In the Bulgarian language, the word "czar" means emperor. The etymology is quite clear, deriving from Caesar. Only in a very colloquial context does it get conflated with king. PametUGlavu (talk) 16:33, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- The table of chess piece names to which you are referring is retrieved from "Wiktionary", whatever and wherever that is. I do not know how to edit it. Bruce leverett (talk) 22:53, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- I think that the word "Tsar" is pretty well-established as a loanword in English, so I guess we could replace "King" with "Tsar/Emperor"? I'll have a go at editing the table, and, if successful, I'll keep the edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.85.116.208 (talk) 20:13, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
- I edited the template and it back-propagated. I decided to just go with "emperor" rather than use some transliterations, it just got cluttered with three for the same thing. I saved the final edit at the template. 77.85.116.208 (talk) 20:52, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Icelandic name of Chess
[edit]Same as others, can not figure out how to edit the cross-language table. I only figured out how I could edit the names of pieces, but that's not the issue here. The list that extends beyond the names of the pieces for Icelandic only lists "Skák" and not "Tafl" as the other equally valid and used name for chess in Icelandic. This is contextually important, as "Skák" and "Tafl" are not 100% interchangable. For instance, to play chess with someone is "að tefla við einhvern" not "að skáka". "Að skáka einhverjum" is to check someone. 31.209.155.86 (talk) 13:13, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
- Go to template:chess names, maybe you can edit that? Bruce leverett (talk) 18:12, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
