Capitalization Conventions
- The names of pieces (king, queen, rook, etc.) are not capitalized (except when the first word of a sentence).
- The words "white" and "black" are capitalized only when they are used as substitutes for player names, e.g. "... captured White's rook ... " and "the black queen...".
- Following our sources, chess opening names are capitalized as proper nouns, e.g., "King's Gambit", "Nimzo-Indian Defence", and "Dragon Variation".
- In quotations, the capitalization used in the source is followed, even if different from the above conventions.

Famous quotes containing the word conventions:
“What people don’t realize is that intimacy has its conventions as well as ordinary social intercourse. There are three cardinal rules—don’t take somebody else’s boyfriend unless you’ve been specifically invited to do so, don’t take a drink without being asked, and keep a scrupulous accounting in financial matters.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
