schakaen presentation terms in the style of various other neogender umbrella presentation terms (ex: these techrobai presentations, these kenochoric presentations)!

i based these on chess pieces (using colors largely inspired by my chesspaic flags). here are the symbol sources: piece, queen, king, pawn, rook, bishop, knight!

flag id: the top left image is of a square flag with 4 stripes, which are blue, light silver, golden brown, and dark red. in the center of the flag is a smaller square made to look like a 4x4 chessboard, which has a thick outline. the top half of the chessboard has alternating near-black and off-white squares and is outlined in silver-white, while the bottom half has alternating soft brown and light sandy brown squares and a cream outline.

the top middle image is blank and the same size as the top left and right images, making the other two images take up less space on the screen. the top right image is the schakaen symbol, a 2x2 checkerboard pattern with a thick outline. the top left square is near-black. the top right is off-white, the bottom left is light sandy brown, and the bottom right is soft brown. the top half of the outline is silver-white and the bottom half is cream. the whole thing is tilted 20 degrees to the left.

the bottom left flag is similar to the top left image, but is a rectangular flag instead of square. the outlined 4x4 chessboard is as tall as the flag itself in this version, with the four stripes extending out to each side. the bottom right flag has 10 stripes, with the third and eighth being much smaller than the rest. the top two and bottom two stripes are divided in half, forming a 2x2 checkerboard pattern out of the top two and bottom two stripes. the stripes are a near-black and off-white checkerboard, silver-white, blue, light silver, golden brown, dark red, cream, and a soft brown and light sandy brown checkerboard. end id.

schakaen: a neogender umbrella for terms directly and conceptually related to chess

[pt: schakaen: a neogender umbrella for terms directly and conceptually related to chess. end pt]

concepts potentially included under schakaen:

chess (see chessaic)

pairings of dark and light colors (black and white, brown, and cream, dark blue and light blue, etc.)

squares, grids, checkerboard patterns, etc.

strategy, particularly abstract strategy

competitions, wins, losses, and draws

ancient warfare

numbers relevant in chess, such as 2 (2 players), 8 (number of piece types), 16 (number of pieces on the board), 64 (number of squares), piece values (1, 3, 5, 9), etc.

pattern recognition, puzzle-solving, analysis, algorithms, near-infinite variability, etc.

competition between humans and computers, advancement of computer programming/intelligence, etc.

flag symbolism:

blue: mental aspects (strategy, puzzles, etc.)

silver: modernity (computers, algorithms, etc.)

gold: history (history of chess, ancient warfare, etc.)

red: warfare and competition

black, white, and browns: physical chess boards, dark/light color pairings, grids/checkerboard patterns

derived terms:

chessan: a schakaen person (derived from 'chessman')

piech: an older schakaen person (derived from 'piece' and 'schak'; intended to be pronounced as 'peak')

paen: a younger schakaen person (derived from 'pawn' and 'aen'; can be pronounced as 'pay-en' or 'pane')

schakade: a schakaen gender (derived from 'schakaen' and 'blockade')

schin: schakaen-in-nature

schakine: having schakaen qualities (equivalent of masculine/feminine). noun form is schakinity

schakaic: schakaen gender alignment

transchakine, transschakine: transitioning towards schakinity

'schak' is inspired by several other languages' words for chess (such as dutch 'schaak', german 'schach', and medieval lating 'scaccus'), plus a suffix similar to 'aic' in 'chessaic', 'aen'. it's pronounced 'skah-kay-en'!

i actually coined this in early january 2023, but decided against posting it at the time (there were a Lot fewer neogender umbrellas then and i felt like it wasn't really 'necessary'). i finally decided to rework the flag and post it!

a schakaen role system!

grandmaster system genders are genders related to being a grandmaster of [x]/an [x] grandmaster. they are connected to [x], [x] aesthetics, grandmaster aesthetics, chess aesthetics, chess skills, and being schakaen, schakine, a piech/paen, etc. these terms should be named as 'masgra[x]' — for example, a kitten grandmaster system gender might be called 'masgrakitten'.
