Nonstandard terminology

I'm prodding this because it is distinctly nonstandard terminology. As far as I know, it has been proposed by only a single chess writer. At this point, it's a neologism. Wikipedia must wait to see if this terminology catches on before reporting on it. On the other hand, this material would make an excellent addition to sacrifice (chess) if changed to use the standard deflection sacrifice terminology. I don't think that article covers deflection sacrifices at all. Quale 20:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I haven't heard of it before, and it is not in the Oxford Companion or Golombek's encyclopedia. Merge it into Sacrifice. Bubba73 (talk), 21:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. David aukerman ^talk 02:29, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the term is not in enough widespread use to merit a separate article, but that much of the article is salvagable and usable. I have merged and redirected the majority of the article in with sacrifice (chess). Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:37, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
