On a video somewhere two chess players where analyzing. They talked about moving the h-pawn.
One said "Yes I agree, Harry has to go...."
Does all pawns have names? And if so what names?
urk
Harry, George, Fred, Edwin, Donny, Chris, Beatrice, and Anna.
Actually I never heard this before.

check out the 'GingerGM' Simon Williams youtube videos. He names all his pawns and talks to them as he pushes them up the board. Harry is probably his favourite. 😂

Arry, Barry, Cedric, Derrick, Eddie, Freddie, Gary, Harry.

It is a poetical idea to name the pawns...I like Derrick

Ginger GM great idea naming the pawns.  And yes, Harry is his favourite.

Yes, those are the names!  I thought I heard Simon once calling the f-pawn as "Frodo", but I may be mistaken.

All these boy pawns become queens when they are succesfull...Derrick becomes Dorothy

Can't really have 'Arry and Harry.

I suspect the "a" pawn is really Albert.

Also there is a lack of ladies.  So the "d" pawn is now Doreen and the "e" pawn Edna.

Albert, Barry, Cedric, Doreen, Edna, Freddie, Gary and Harry.

Harry remains the universal favourite.

As long as we're being egalitarian here, the queenside pawns should all be female. Abbie, Betty, Carrie, and Debbie on the queenside. Eddie, Freddie, Gary, and Harry on the kingside.

But wait, do the black and white pawns need to have identical names? Are they mirror image clones with different coats of paint?

Eddie the nasty pawn who often opens the game and is often one of the early casualties...Oh Eddie..
