Depending on how excited you get by the game, you might think of it as pawnography...

A coy pawn

When you make a brilliant knight move say "do you know where I learned that move?", then answer "Night School!"

Estebono

An Arch Bishop...

I suppose if this thread is going to be revived from the dead, knight as well embrace it.  

I tried to buy my opponent's king, but apparently no checks are accepted.

Ok here is a very bad one

You've done well, guys, take the rest of the Najdorf.

The great chess grandmaster Alexander Alekhine was once asked by a playful interviewer whether he preferred the queen on the board or on the bed. "It depends," he replied, "on the position."
 

Brilliant!

I also like a story by Jan Timman. He is watching a game and next to him stands Boris Spassky. Then Spassky starts quitetly humming the song by the Beatles 'Love me like you did the night before'...

Timman is amused and surprised until he notices that Knight to b4 is in fact the winning move :)

Its hard.. soooo hard!

Perhaps you just need to use new words/phrases for a challenge/variety....position, tension, pressure, the back rank, flipping the board for a more interesting view, queening, any particular piece that your queen might prefer.....mine has a thing for k/nights....capturing....I could keep going for quite some time.  Can't help it.  I'm a twice over English major and I teach--double entendre is in my blood.  Lol

 

Oh--you might also consider more narrative scenarios.  Depending upon my opponent, of course, I may beg mercy for my queen when she is captured, that sort of thing.  Of course, when she's captured by a knight, she is likely to make requests.  Again, only with the right/certain opponents.  Regardless of her sense of adventure, she is not without her dignity.  ;)

 

Always nice to run into your own kind, eh?   Chess can be such a sexy game.   :)

That was a Tal order

AmyLB

Tal order?  Perhaps.  The question is, can your men bring their king a satifying endgame?  And can they do it without constantly relying on the queen to give them a hand?  

It makes me nuts when a man reigns just because he's lost his queen.  You learn a great deal about an opponent in the course of a game.  And naturally, nothing trumps a nice OTB game.
