Yes, and also other games use triangular, hexagonal, and other shapes for what is essentially the same concept. {kurfa} could eventually be added as a modifier when discussing the standard chess board, but a more general term would be useful. > A brivla or tanru for this might benefit by involving {selci}, "x1 is > a cell/atom/unit/molecule of x2; x1 is an indivisible, most basic > subunit of x2".

Maybe {stuzi} is the whole board, the "location" where the game takes place, and {stusle} is a board cell? Or maybe {kelstu}, {kelstusle}? Also, if {muvdu} is use for "piece", then {selmu'u} could be used for the spaces where the pieces can move to. mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
