Bishops might not necessarily be called that in ME. But I think you have a good point: JRRT made an analogy of something that probably doesn't exist in his world! They only time chess is mentioned EVER is when Gandalf talks to Pippin, and then Pippin repeats it to himself. Obviously he knows what Gandalf was talking about, but I don't recall reading that one of the passions of hobbits was chess.
