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:
“Why does almost everything seem to me like its own parody? Why must I think that almost all, no, all the methods and conventions of art today are good for parody only?”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
