Re: The English Language
Do you have an English dictionary Soheil?
Tractable is a fairly common word (and so is traceable but I suspect that you didn't mean that).

I've never heard of either phrase. What is the context in which you found them?

I don't mean what is it the symbol of, I mean the actual move....

Re: The English Language
It's not a move. By turning your king over and laying it on the board, it is a way of showing that you resign, instead of just stopping the clock or saying " I resign."

Re: The English Language
Unless it doesn't work as an idiom, it's "one way to resign is to knock over your king". Like boxing, the contest is over when the opponent lies on the floor.soheil_hooshdaran wrote:I cannot translate it as one way to resign is to resign
"lay the king on its side" could be another way of expressing it.

If you remove " further," you still get pretty well the same meaning.
