This one is good, with not only the names but some explanation of the meaning:

And this one, lots of languages:

(But portuguese is peão, not peo, for pawn)
And don't forget this:
english - spanish - portuguese
draw - tablas - empate
stalemate - ahogado - afogado
castle - enroque - roque
en passant - al paso - en passant
And:
Check! - Portuguese: Xeque!
Checkmate - xeque-mate
Cheers,
Beco

and beco, its not castle but Castling
in Dutch:
Draw - Remise or Gelijkspel
Stalemate - Pat
Castling - Rokeren
"en Passant" - "en Passant" slaan
Check! - Schaak
Checkmate - Schaakmat

Well, `castle' is the verb; `castling' the noun.
|
|
|
To be totally fussy, "castling" is the verb in the present participle form, used either as a verb ("He is castling.") or a gerund ("Castling was a good idea."), the latter being what richerby has in mind when he calls it a noun, which is the function it's performing while a gerund.
