Talk:draughts

I can't find much evidence, but Chambers 1908 has a Scottish entry for damboard, dambrod, meaning "a draughtboard, the pieces being dams": etymology: [Fr. jeu de dames, copied by the Germans as damenspiel, by the Swedes as damspel, etc., perhaps from the movement of the pieces being like those of the queen (reine or dame) in chess.] Equinox ◑ 03:57, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
