Actually, that'd be a semantic, singular, rather than semantics.


I'm not sure if I'm ignorant or apathetic but I don't know and I don't care, semantics aside.

If we go for the semiotics we have:

The nice Change from wezir to Queen. (probably due to medevial thoughts on romantics.

The Change from elephant to rook to Castle (in German Turm: Tower)

There is a nice socail comment to have a White and a black Bishop (when you take into account European meaning of black and White ion regard to Religion, for japanese e.g. this is different).
