Hi SB.
There is an Assassin in a Chess Varient but it is a piece.
Think I'll stick with the Assassin Pawn.
It also brings back fond memories of the time I played in an Allegro team
tournament and we called ourselves The Assassins.
In the same tournament there was a juinor section of under 12 year olds.
Most had boring team names revolving around the name of their School.
However one bunch of kids called their team The Knights of Thunder.
That has to be best ever name for a chess team.

For our non-US players: Lorena Bobbitt was an abused wife who cut off her husband's...pisser... and then drove off in her car and threw it out the window as she drove away. A sensational case at the time.

It won the contest for best name, but Chess Life changed it for publication, as they understandably could not print that.
