My irish is imperfect!
My translations are seldom correct.

Woah! Easy tiger. All I know is that chess is called fidchill in old Irish and ficheall in Modern.

I suggest you go to the forum at http://www.acmhainn.ie and ask them there. It's sort of an online 'academy' like they have in France which keeps a store of technical terms translated into Irish.
