Answer 1

Meow! Chess is easy for me... it's just a game of cat and mouse.

Cleverrrrrrr ! - ray76, Aug 26, 2015

Gracias Sandy and Raymon. ♥♥ - rac1, Aug 26, 2015

Answer 3

Una ventaja de ser un gato es que tus fichas piezas no tienen que trasladarse moverse bajo las mismas reglas que las de los simples mortales.

One advantage of being a cat is that your pieces do not have to be moved under the same rules as those of mere mortals.

Chess pieces are called "piezas" in Spanish. "Fichas" are domino pieces. OK? - Daniela2041, Aug 25, 2015

Thanks, Daniela. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 25, 2015

'mover' better than 'trasladar' actually I don't know if it is better it just that no one would say 'trasladar' for this case :D - Pablo064, Aug 25, 2015

If no one would say it that way, then mover is better, it is not all about the grammar, it is also about what words people actually say. Thanks, Pablo. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 25, 2015

Answer 4

Este jugador intenta adoptar un aire despreocupado frente al tablero.

This player is trying to look nonchalant in front of the board.

Answer 5

Es al igual que un gato colarse un turno extra mientras que cree que nadie está mirando.

Just like a cat to sneak in an extra move while he thinks no one is looking.

(Please correct my Spanish.)

'Al igual que un gato que cuela/mete un movimiento extra mientras cree que...' :) - Pablo064, Aug 25, 2015

Pablo, I made the second change, but I'm not sure "que cuela" says exactly what I'm trying to say. I don't mean to be stubborn. It's just that in English, "just like a cat that sneaks an extra move" implies that this cat is like another cat somewhere . . - AnnRon, Aug 26, 2015

whereas I'm trying to say that to sneak an extra move is a characteristic of cats in general. Maybe the distinction doesn't hold true in Spanish? - AnnRon, Aug 26, 2015

I understand you Ann and I think that 'colar/meter' can go well - Pablo064, Aug 27, 2015

Answer 6

The Los Gatos Blancos defense uses a P-QN3 (pawn to queen knight three) opening...

La defensa de los gatos blancos usa un P-QN3 (peón a reina caballero tres) de apertura...

Answer 7

Ese gato acaba de dar "mate" al perro.

That cat has just checkmated the dog.

Thanks for the great phrase! - mstivers, Aug 26, 2015

Answer 8

Nadie puede ganar al gato jugando al ajedrez. Ha tenido siete vidas para aprender.

Nobody can win the cat playing chess. He has had (got?) Seven lives to learn

Yo hubiese dicho 'ganarle al gato' :D sabías que los gatos ingleses tienen 9 vidas? o.o - Pablo064, Aug 25, 2015

Ahora que lo comenta , algo me suena. ¡Que morro tienen los mininos ingleses! ;) - 000a35ff, Aug 26, 2015

Nobody can "beat" the cat playing chess. - is correct amigo. - ian-hill, Aug 26, 2015

Or, "He's had seven"..... or "He's got seven" both are correct, but somehow "He's had" sounds much better. :) - rac1, Aug 26, 2015

Am I expected to edit back into my post the corrections? I find having the error and correction both help me to understand. - roveg, Aug 26, 2015
