Pronunciation
Noun
rocháda f
- (obsolete, chess) Alternative form of rošáda (castling)
- 1986, Jiří Veselý, “Rocháda”, in Jak hrát šachy?, Praha: Olympia, page 17:
- Hráč při rochádě uchopí vlastního krále, přesune ho o dvě pole směrem k vlastní věži, pak vezme onu věž a přeskočí vlastního krále tak, že ji postaví do králova těsného sousedství na téže řadě.
- When performing castling, a player takes his own king, moves it two squares towards his own rook, than takes the rook and jumps over his own king in such a way, that he puts it to the king's close neighbourhood on the same row.
Usage notes
The expression rocháda should be pronounced /ˈroxaːda/, but it mistakenly acquired also French pronunciation with the letter "ch" pronounced as /ʃ/ (especially among non-professional chess players), which later (in 1950's) lead also to the change of spelling with the letter "š" (rošáda).[1][2][3]
