Fun fact: rooks are elephant, bishops are camels, and queen is vizier in most Indian languages.

Do the pieces look different or are they just called a different thing? Like what’s a ‘jumper’?
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 months ago
They look the same. A “jumper”, or “springer” in Danish, is just a differently named “knight”.
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 months ago
The second one is inaccurate for Slovenia at least. Both horse and jumper are in use.

It’s so easy to tell this map was made by a Brit. Wales gets its own color (despite largely not speaking Welsh) but Belgium and Switzerland are monochrome (despite having multiple federally recognized and geographically partitioned monolinguistic regions and their own flavors of historical-but-rarely-spoken language)?
Only the Bri’ish would be haughty enough to assume their flavour of federal governance is so unique.
