(I) There is no Yiddish, German, or Hebrew word or word combination apparent to suggest 'patzer'. Seriously, where does Patzer come from? Patzer is inferior Chess player by definition. Not Irish, is it, like from Paddy? Pat, or Paddy, gives paddy wagon because of so many Irish policemen about in 1900, but that's different line of derivation. Please explain patzer etymology or slang or plain country of origin for certain. (This ''Nomenclature_Che'' thread, other related issues here for the cv-savvy can be used liberally to prolong discussion. Examples could be trigonal/triagonal, or Vao/Canon/Arrow duplicating names for the same other's recent idea, or any old or new Chess word-topic wanting to be revisited. Suit yourself.) (II.) Once explaining Patzer, someone is invited to coin new word or word combination for ''inferior chess variant designer or design.'' It's only fair. Dis-allowed as too specific-case term to mean ''haphazard/hapless designer,'' are the likes of 'Stanley Randomizer' or 'Gridlocker' or 'HumpMitregier' or 'Nutty Nighters' or XYMYXer. Please do not point to a specific cv like all those terms would. So no more or less direct reference possibly slurring someone's honest try. Rather, what would be good general neologism to describe ''inferior cv design'' -- the needed equivalent to Patzer? Yet too, concise and precise one or two words would indeed seem best fitting this purpose. (III) Two questions really then. Main topic, does anyone know PATZER or not? It is certainly not of Latin Pater either. Then secondly, what is just the right catchy name for 'Patzer Designer'?
