You should accept castle for rook.

Castle is a move in chess. If you day that to anyone playing chess they think you're moving your rook and king.

In the UK the move is known as castling. The rook can also be known as a castle

I am from the UK, I play chess, and no "castle" isn't a name for the rook. Tower eventually is but rook is an incorrect denomination.

I can't seem to remember some of the English terms for chess pieces. The rook is a tower where I'm from and my dictionary says castle is a dated term for that piece. I think it should work.

This is not a date quiz, so dated terms shouldn't be accepted.

No, because it's not called a castle

It's a very common synonym. It's irrelevant what chess gatekeepers say it has to be called.

I like to call the pawns "those little fellows over there". Should that be accepted?

The Nobel Prize for Economics is an add-on and is known officially as the Swedish Central Bank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Afred Nobel. And as such is not accepted by many as a Nobel Prize inclulding the Nobel family;

I agree that it's not actually a Nobel Prize, and shouldn't be counted as such.

It makes no sense that Athens doesn't hold a major marathon. :(

Shouldn't the UK (United Kingdom of Great Britain and NORTHERN Ireland) count as a country with a cardinal direction in its name?

But it's only considering short and informal names for countries. If it were asking fo their full official names then neither North or South Korea would count.

It's the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, so you should probably accept Physiology.

Oganesson is a seventh member of the Noble gases group 18. Discovered / confirmed in Dec 2015. Maybe include a comment to exclude it from the group of 6 better known elements?

Even though it is in the Noble Gas Group, it is not yet known if oganesson is a noble gas.

I see that you aren't adding castle to rook even though the OED says it's an alternate name and the Wikipedia entry notes it as an informal name. Please reconsider.

There is a competition called World Marathon Majors, that include the six mentioned. QM didn't made that up, so it's not up to him nor either of us to change anything about the question.

The EU didn't exist until 1992, so the original members of the EU were the 12 countries that signed the Maastricht Treaty.

The six countries listed were original members of the European Coal and Steel Community, a forerunner to the EU.

I didn't get Riyadh because I missed the H. I tried a bunch of other spellings too. You should probably add some type-ins.
