Pola identyfikowane są tak samo, jak w Polsce (a1-h8)
Kolumna

Rząd
Rank
Diagonala
Diagonal
Podobnie jak po polsku nazywamy kolumny, np. h file to kolumna h.
Przedostatni rząd to 7nth rank, ostatni to back rank. Długie
przekątne (a1-h8 oraz h1-a8) to long diagonal.
Obszary szachownicy:
Centrum
Center
Skrzydło królewskie
Kingside
Skrzydło hetmańskie
Queenside
Powyższe zwroty wiążemy z wieloma terminami by je zlokalizować na
planszy. Mamy więc np. queenside attack (atak na skrzydle
hetmańskim), central break (przełom w centrum) czy kingside storm
(szturm na skrzydle królewskim).
From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated
unfairly, so that you will come to know the value of justice.
I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the
importance of loyalty.
Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time so that
you don’t take friends for granted.
I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be
conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your
success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is
not completely deserved either.
And when you lose, as you will from time to time, I hope every now and
then, your opponent will gloat over your failure. It is a way for you
to understand the importance of sportsmanship.
I hope you’ll be ignored so you know the importance of
listening to others, and I hope you will have just enough pain to
learn compassion.
Whether I wish these things or not, they’re going to happen. And
whether you benefit from them or not will depend upon your ability to
see the message in your misfortunes.
