[Retros] Die Schwalbe Heft 232, august 2008

[Bernd Gräfrath]

Hello,

there are some problems how to translate the fairy condition "Schlagschach" into other languages. (And even in German, there are other names for it, for example "Räuberschach"). Dawson used the name "Losing Game", and nowadays, "Losing Chess" is most generally accepted (and thus preferable to "Capturechess" and other alternatives). In French, the name is "Qui perd gagne".

Best wishes,

Bernd
