    Idk why the original considered Czech names “czad”, they’re quite unremarkable:

    ♙ Foot soldier
    ♖ Tower
    ♔ King
    ♕ Lady (not Queen because that would start with the same letter as King)
    ♗ Archer
    ♘ Cavalryman (sometimes also Horse but that also starts with K)

    (Pěšec, věž, král, královna dáma, střelec, jezdec/kůň.)

      Still fun to see in different languages! In Dutch the literal translation is:

      ♙ Pawn
      ♖ Tower
      ♔ King
      ♕ Lady
      ♗ Walker (as in: slow runner)
      ♘ Horse

      Pion, toren, koning, dame, loper, paard.
