Well let's see what they can reach (albeit lamely):
FIDE Rook: 1:0, 2:0, 3:0, 4:0 etc.;
FIDE Bishop: 1:1, 2:2, 3:3, 4:4 etc.;
Circular King: 1:0, 1:1, 2:1, 2:2, 3:0, 3:1;
Circular Waffle: 1:0, 2:2, 3:2, 3:3, 5:0, 5:1;
Circular Fezbaba: 1:1, 2:0, 3:1, 4:0, 3:3, 4:2;
Circular Alibaba: 2:0, 2:2, 4:2, 4:4, 6:0, 6:2.
I took 'Alibabasinit' as a reference to the character Ali G, who does use the Bhangramuffin expression 'init?' in much the same way as the Welsh use its full form 'isn't it?' and the French 'n'est ce pas?'
