Well, I've got Material Gambit, Positional Gambit, Aggressive Gambit and Informational Gambit. I need a black entry in the cycle.

The red one is already creature-kill, so I don't think I want this to be a kill spell. Discard is another natural candidate, but it's pretty wordy (Duress is three sentences), and I'm thinking that "Rewrite Memories" from the list of possible sorcery names could be a discard spell.
(If I do make this a discard spell then I'm thinking it'll be a Blackmail gambit at {1}{b}.)

A Disentomb tweak like Midnight Recovery/Revive the Fallen would make a lot of sense. The only niggle is, chess has no way to recover captured pieces, so I can't think of a sensible name.

no great names for this, but this'll do
