“the baron is playing chess; he must be a lazy, shiftless bum”
Bongcloud
Frenchman’s Cumsock
Monkey Bum
Only one of these is made up and the other two are the names of openings used by grandmasters in FIDE sanctioned events.
I think we’ll keep going with things that sound like what a 1780s aristocrat might say, anyone who knows chess will catch on to the bit when they notice.were just naming chess pieces and letters and numbers at random. Here’s some others we’ve made up:
The Brussels Wager
The Haliburton Exit (mine, I thought it was clever)
The Barcelona Maneuver
The Antwerp Flank
The Dreaded Parallel Strategem of the Swiss
The Buckaneer Open
The Proto Indo European Midgame Meta
But no seriously two of those are real with wiki pages and everything lol
