The bulk update request #10014 is pending approval.

create implication chess_piece (190) -> chess (341)
create implication living_chess_piece (122) -> chess_piece (190)

Reason: Wikipedia uses chessboard
chess piece and chessboard should imply chess (though should it be named chess_(game))?

Also should we keep the named chess pieces like king (chess)? If so might be best to imply them to chess

Edit: Removed

alias chess_board -> chessboard
implicate chessboard -> chess

for now.

I'm iffy about chessboard, is there any difference between an 8x8 checkerboard made for chess and an 8x8 checkerboard made for checkers?

Absolutely none short of actually having the pieces on the board (and even that isn't necessarily a guarantee), although there are different non-8x8 chessboard setups possible for chess variants (which I doubt artists will think to draw). We might as well alias chessboard and checkerboard together, to gameboard, or to away to chess and checkers respectively.

seems very broad. Checkerboard seems to be used in general for checkered gameboards, so I think we should alias chessboard to that. For variants, a copyright tag for the variant is probably enough practically, though it wouldn't be too difficult to make gameboard tags for them, I. E. hexagonal_checkerboard
