My little Pawnie. (My little pony).
My ideas will never be as cool as the ones from a native but at least it's a start haha.
Zugzwang is a great name but it would really narrow the audience I think by making people say "what the hell is that?" I like something simple like "pawned" (which looks like pwned) You could even stylize it so that the p and the a sort of link together so it looks more like pwned. lol
Wow guys, thanks for the ideas!
I think I'm also leaning towards something like pawned or pawnage because I want it to be easily recognized even by people who don't know that much about chess.
Fenris1066: Thank you for the idea of stylizing the the P and A! Honestly I hadn't thought about trying to play with the fonts to help push the idea. I really love the idea and will probably use it.
Status update: First comic strip is completely inked :D Will probably ink at least three more before going on to the digitalizing stage :D
If your main character's a wimp, the opposite of hardcore pawn would surely be soft pawn. ;)
When in Doubt, take the Pawn.
Oooh neat idea with the stylizing thing. You could do it like an edit mark in red pen.

p^ wned
Something kinda like that maybe? Just another idea. Works for pwnage as well.
(idk how it will display when I click submit...*crosses fingers* )
