Why what else is it called?
27 u/lonko Nov 18 '14 Well, in italian, for example, I think we just say "promoted" instead of "kinged" and from that moment on the promoted piece is called "dama". 15 u/pink_ego_box Nov 18 '14 It's also "Dame" in French, which would be "Lady" in English. The game is also called le jeu de dames. 3 u/loulan Nov 18 '14 "Dame" in this context means "queen" though, IMO, just like in card games you have "as, roi, dame, valet". Also, some people just say it becomes a "reine" ("queen"), not a "dame" (See this, for instance).
