Did you know that Springer means "knight", the chess piece, in German?
Why is Knight abbreviated N when it starts with a K?
Except we in Germany call it "Pferd" and not "Springer".

Because K for King I guess.

Not in the early days apparently:

Which is relevant since Springer was founder in 1842.

NEIN SAUPREIßN RAUS
>>7910083
I call it horse
Before the ranting Nazis start to flood the thread, it does not mean "knight", at least as far as I am concerned. It is the simple name for the piece, which you could also translate as "jumper".

>Its logo is a stylized chess knight (“horse”), since “Springer” is the German word for the “knight” in chess.
>>7910066
Actually the German word for the chess piece knight is حصان
>>7910242
Nvm, did not know the actual English term. If you wordly translate springer it still holds.
>polite sage
>>7910083
Austrian saying Pferd here.
I also say Läufer for bishop, I seem to recall that there is some other stupid Prussian word for that.
>>7910250
Better not translate wordly wordlily though.

The chess piece knight is called horse in german (pferd) also same in swedish (häst) and I would suspect nederlands (paard?).

Springer is English for shitty paywall
Springer marketing team pls go.
Also it's probably Hungerford, Fulton and Harris, and Serge Lang's faults, but you make me feel warm and fuzzy as if not all publishing companies are evil.
