Wait until they learn how we call their precious precious bishop in French! :^)
I didn’t realize different languages had different meanings for the piece. That’s fascinating.
I like the way Estonia and the ocean have the same name for it.
That’s exactly what I was going to say 🤣
Pretty sure it’s original name translates to elephant in English, and is still called that in many countries.
Now I’m picturing a deep fried Joker meme with him wearing that silly hat
Pointer and pretzel are the only acceptable names moving forward
I didn’t know I was an atheist gay race communist.
Nice.
Fun fact is that this piece isn’t even called bishop in other languages. In french it’s called fool. And both are wrong if you compare to the original indian game
In german it’s called a “Läufer” or walker
Ah yes, because it walks, unlike the other pieces…
yeah that’s the elephant in a lot of eastern countries.
In Spanish is called alfil, derived from the Arabic for “elephant”.
Yeah in chess’s Asian cousins the equivalent piece is usually an advisor or general. And then there’s Japan, where they just call it “angle-mover”.
(Worth noting that it’s by far the most blandly named shogi piece. Rooks, for example are “flying chariots”.)

Mr game & watch
Mr. Game & Watch. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but he might be the first “video game character” ever created?

chess dot cum
you heard that right
Just to piss that guy off, I’d support calling it a Dawkins
Nah, Dawkins was buddies with Epstein.
You have any proof of that?
You maybe confusing Epsteins here? All I can find is he once talked to Rafael Epstein
I’d recommend a source instead of a small number of JPGs for the future.
Looks like the source is this article which documents just how embedded Epstein was in New York and saught to be included in philosophical discussions.
I’m not sure this is as damning as you think for Dawkins, more so than the manager who was actually in Epstein’s phone book.
Seems like he should have asked more questions about who was sponsoring his flight to a TED talk than someone that rode the Lolita Express.
I’m aware of the source, where’d you think I sourced the image? lol
And I didn’t accuse him of diddling kids, I just said he was buddies with Epstein, or the pedo apologist New Atheist movement at least. Seems like the very least he could’ve done is asking more questions.
Pedobear?
Also Epstein didn’t kill himself. Where are the files?
Bishop and Heterosexual Bishop
The zoidberg claw.
Ink pen.
In France it is called ‘the fool’.
My new name for it is the gay atheist sorry.

Sluggy Freelance had a pretty good and extensive storyline about this, but I guess the comic never really got indexed because my searches are returning nothing.
So I guess you should just read Sluggy Freelance in its entirety, or at least until you find the relevant storyline.
