Chess terms in Japanese


I'm working on an open-source accessibility extension for the chess website
(lichess.org) - I tried to translate it to Japanese, can you take a look if I
mistranslated something?

  * takes (captures): とる
  * promotion: プロモーション
  * short castle: キャスリングショート
  * long castle: キャスリングロング
  * move! (as in "You should make a move!"): 行く！




The majority of chess terminology in Japanese is simply katakana
transliterations of the English terms. You can find them all on Wikipedia (in
Japanese)
[here](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%81%E3%82%A7%E3%82%B9%E7%94%A8%E8%AA%9E%E4%B8%80%E8%A6%A7).

By the way, this even extends to complete verb phrases, which are also
rendered into phonetic transliterations. For example, in English, a
commentator might say "Knight takes f7", referring to a capture by a knight on
the f7 square. In Japanese, this would be ナイト テイク エフ セブン (knight take f
seven). It's interesting that the transliteration doesn't include the correct
3rd person form of the verb (takes), but I'm not sure why that quirk evolved.
I suspect that all captures and conjugations of verbs relating to captures
have been subsumed into テイク (take). The verb とる (or とっていく) is also used to
describe captures in general analysis (as opposed to spoken versions of chess
notation).

The verb for moving a piece is 指す, but as above, it's common to just use the
English terminology. e.g. Bishop c6 = ビショップ シー シックス. In general analysis, you
can say things like ナイトがジーファイブと指す (knight moves to g5).

There seem to be some deviations from English which resemble 和製英語. For
example, a pawn advance is ポーンプッシュ (pawn push), which has a slightly different
nuance from the English term 'pawn push'. I'm sure there are other examples,
but I'm not an expert so I defer to the answers of others.
