[QUOTE=Gallo Rojo]Thanks guys! :)

Une more question concerning the "Bishop"

The word "L�ufer" means only the chess piece or means also the clerical official?
I know that in English they call it "Bishop" because the top of the figure looks like a bishop's hat. But may not be the case in German.

The Spanish word for the chess piece is "Alfil" (which is word that comes from Arab, and means "Elephant"), while the word for the priest officer is "Obispo."[/QUOTE]
Hi Gallo Rojo,

a bishop is a 'Bischof' or a 'Ordinarius' (very clerical off course) outside of chess.

At chess I never heard anything else than 'L�ufer' for the bishop here in Germany.

Greetings
