Do the Queens in chess have a name?
I've heard that in some countries/cultures they have a name for the black queen and a name for the white queen, is that true?? If so, do they name other chess pieces as well??

I found out that on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_chess_notation, if you scroll down to "Naming the pieces in various languages", you will get all kinds of definitions for all the pieces, plus definitions for "chess", "check" and "checkmate". I love chess so mainly I am trying to answer chess questions. =)
