As opposed to a Fiver and a horser?

Hi ketchuplover,

We could call Pawns 'Cubs' and if a pawn reached the 6th rank it is a Sixer.

BTW I was watching Kasparov v Short from 1993. The Channel Four coverage.
In it Ray Keene (sporting a Penguin badge, a nickname he is quite fond off)
calls a Zwischenzug a 'Sandwich Move' which I'll be using from now on as
it easier to spell.
