Travelleled lots of Kilometers saw things I hadn't seen before and
Enjoyed the break very much

Nice to be back with my friends though


How are you both?

Morning Shimms
Hope your pain is less today.
Yes I did think Sue may have left one with a clue or left the other one unsolved.
I'm just about to go to the supermarket and an generally busy on a Sat morning, so if someone hasn't put one up when I look in after lunch I'll probably do one :)
I don't like putting one up and then disappearing !..lol

Hi Sandie

goodnight, and sleep well

For the record, the answer is

the 2 Bishops in Chess are Known as Fools in France and Runners in Germany

The website above tells the story about how the names crossed continents and decades.

I'm sorry Sue i wouldn't have a clue on the German side and hubby is wanting me to close down.
I will have to leave it for tonight ., and for tomorrows peeps.
I enjoyed the game as usual but will have to say goodnight.
Sweet dreams
Sandie.x

Other than going through every F and R word in the Dictionary which i'm not going to I'm stumped.
Frederick in France and Roger in Germany ? doh
I'm getting the old elbow now so think i'd better leave it for the more brighter morning peeps.

Hi Sandie

I hope you don't mind if I give half the game away.

"A bishop is a Chess piece... The piece's deep groove symbolizes a bishop's (or abbot's) mitre. The groove originates from the original Indian form of the piece, an elephant (the groove represented the elephant's tusks). This groove was interpreted differently in different countries as the game moved to Europe; in France, for example, the groove was taken to be a jester's cap, hence in France the bishop is called "fou" (the crazy man)."

Just the German connection to get now

Sue x

I'm lost now, as Bishop translates to Eveque in French, and Bischof in German.

Nicely done, Sandie, and totally right

(the F and the R are in English)

Sue x

the 2 Bishops in Chess are Known as F in France and R in Germany..?
Did neither at O level.lol

the 2 B in Chess are Known as F in F and R in G

It is chess, Sandie

Not sure you need to know much about chess to answer this (except the piece starting with B) - more about languages

Sue x

the 2 Boards in Chess are Known as F in F and R in G..?

I know nothing about chess, if it is chess!

That's right, Sandie

Here's a clue - a challenging board game - played in a lot of countries.

Sue x

the 2 B in C are Known as F in F and R in G

the 2 B in C are K a F in F and R in G

Sue x

Still awake - just

the 2 B in C a K a F in F and R in G

Sue x

the 2 B in /is C and K are F in F and R in G

You might find me disappearing too when hubby kicks me off or I may drop asleep on the keyboard too tonight .lol I'm yawning my head off, either way someone will pick it up in the morning or start a new thread.:))
