Well, Dan said "give the English name", so that clearly rules out names
in other languages.
What is more problematic is the use of "the". Mark would have written "Name
a chess piece", if he wanted us to choose between the chess pieces. Had he
wanted us to choose between the possible names he would have written "Give
an English name for a chess piece". "The English name" would indicate that
there is one definitive name but as the thread has shown.
