[lojban] Re: [Chess] square

["Matt Arnold" <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

In the chess variant community, where we use several different shapes,
we have taken to referring to them as spaces, cells, points, or sites.

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". That's a feature of the chess family of games, in that
their boards are made up of distinct and indivisible locations in some
kind of matrix. A chess piece is located in a cell completely or not
at all.

I would consider {stuzi}, "x1 is an inherent/inalienable
site/place/position/situation/spot/location of x2 (object/event)" were
it not for what the word list has in the notes: "Generally used for
normally stationary objects/events, to give their 'permanent'
location."

In that case I would prefer {judri}, "x1 is an address of/are
coordinates of x2 in system x3".
