I wonder if others find the RHP title embarassing. Though not a prude I cringe when our grandchildren, some of whom play chess get to know what RHP sounds like.

My kids got embarrassed when they found out it was spelt pawn and not porn, they had told their pals that their dad was still a goer, oh the shame.

Red Hot Pawn is a bad name for a pawn shop.

Granted, but Lick My Love Pump would have sounded like a rip off from Spinal Tap.

Grandchildren get all that stuff in kindergarten, there's no such thing as an opportunity to shock a six-year-old. Unless they're shocked that Grandpa knows it too. 🙂

Mrs Outsider was delighted when she heard I had joined RHP to improve my openings repertoire and my technique generally, particularly how to finish off in an endgame situation and deliver a perfect mate.

She lost interest when she discovered it was spelled 'pawn'.
