There are a lot of chess references: Spoiler (mouse over to view) The main characters each have ranks (king, queen, bishop, knight, or rook) and there are two sides (white and black) as well as two "worlds" ("light square" and "dark square"). "En passant" is the name of the white side, opposing the black side "Valde".
