Indeed. I'm happy to see other people taking up the running of rare
entries contests, they're always good fun. Let's hope more people will
start competing as well.

I did consider both 433 Eros, but decided against it as it was the
only not-so-well-known body on the list. Similarly, I decided against
Mercury because it had been in the news. Why nobody entered Jupiter is
a mystery to me.

Since you asked for the name rather than the piece itself, you
shouldn't treat rook and castle as equivalent answers. I specifically
looked for a less common term for a chess piece. I'm surprised nobody
answered minister or horse.

There is no chess piece called a castle.

Nor is there one called a minister or horse.

Wordnet:
S: (n) castle, rook ((chess) the piece that can move any number of
unoccupied squares in a direction parallel to the sides of the
chessboard)
OED:
Castle. Chess, informal: old-fashioned term for rook
M-W:
Castle: Rook
So "castle" is definitely an English name for a chess piece, even if
it's not the standard name.

According to Wordnet, "horse" is a synonym of "knight". Admittedly,
"minister" is archaic, that's why I didn't enter that, but some people
might have.

This was a place I wasn't sure how to score. I would have asked Mark for
advice, but his score would have been involved. Does someone have an
example from a previous RE contest of a similar situation where I can
see a precedent?

The rules (as phrased by Mark) state:
"Some questions specifically ask for a *word*, rather than the thing
that it names; this means that different words with the same meaning
will in general be treated as distinct answers. However, if two or
more inflectional variants, spelling variants, or other closely
related forms are correct answers, they will be treated as
equivalent."
Surely this is the case here? You asked for the *name*, that is, the
*word* referring to the thing (the chess piece), not the thing itself.

Actually there is: it's alternate name is "rook" :)

> Dan Tilque
I can't recall an example from a previous RE contest; all I can offer is my
take on this:
When I was young, and learning chess, the piece I now call "rook" was called
"castle" - and chess rules still refer to the manoeuvre of "castling", not
"rooking". The term "horse" or "horsey" was a colloquial term for a knight;
and I've never heard the term "minister" applied to a bishop. If I was
running this contest, I'd accept "castle", but none of the other words in
dispute. As for the equivalence of "rook" and "castle", that's tightly tied
to how you are interpreting Mark's rules - over to him.
HTH,
Rob

Because the question says "*the* English name" it has to be thought that it
should be interpreted differently from if it had said "*an* English name".
I mean, suppose some people call the Queen "Babe", (as in say "go for it
Babe" when slashing through ranks of pawns perhaps to sacrifice itself
invading some strong postion, (?); that wouldn't make "Babe" not a W,
because it wouldn't be "the" name, it would be "a" name. It says *the*.
So "horse" and that's wrong.

Chess is defined by the FIDE rules, not by any dictionary. And
wordnet is the worst of all the online dictionaries.

Dan did not give any reference to FIDE, did he? He asked for a name used in
English, and very apparently "castle" is one.
To Garmt's three entries, I can that my Swedish-English dictionary for
"torn" gives the translations "castle, rook".

No, but he referred to chess, so that could be considered implicit.
On the other hand, he also stated that pawns do not count as pieces,
which is contrary to FIDE terminology.
> He asked for a name used in English, and very apparently "castle" is one.
As John Gerson noted in another branch of the thread, he actually
asked for "*the* English name", which could reasonably be read as
implying that only one name would be accepted for each piece.
My opinion is that "castle" should be scored as a wrong answer but
still counted against "rook" in the scoring (under the policy decision
that I posted on May 1, but still managed not to incorporate into the
official rules in the one contest I've posted since then).
And my opinion is also that Dan's opinion is the only one that matters.

In chess parlance, pawns are *not* pieces.
