Fun fact. The Bishop in chess is only called that in places where the Church had historical influence. Most of the world uses a variety of terms to describe the piece. From the "slon" (elephant) in Russian and "gajah" in Indonesian, reflecting ancient Arabic influences, to the "Läufer" (runner) in German and "loper" in Dutch, highlighting its diagonal movement, its name varies wildly. The French "fou" (fool) adds a whimsical twist, while "ofitser" (officer) in Bulgarian and "axiomatikós" in Greek suggest a more structured role.

You can tell a lot about a culture by how it names its chess pieces. Some see power, some see movement, some see chaos. But in the end, the Bishop—whatever you call it—still cuts through the board like an unstoppable force. Just like ideas. Hi vitor 🤝🧡🏴‍☠️
