It is not obligatory if we ship the original uskak.fd. But since we DO
ship ONLY the skaknew uskak.fd it is obligatory. I will have to fix this
in upstream TeX Live, too.

Strange, here on my computer there is one line containing
1. <Knight Symbold> f3
as it should be, both with latex->dvips and pdflatex.
Running this file with -recorder I get:

What do you get?

DIDCOT (n.)
The tiny oddly-shaped bit of card which a ticket inspector cuts out of
a ticket with his clipper for no apparent reason. It is a little-known
fact that the confetti at Princess Margaret's wedding was made up of
thousands of didcots collected by inspectors on the Royal
Train. DIDLING (participial vb.)
The process of trying to work out who did it when reading a whodunnit,
and trying to keep your options open so that when you find out you can
allow yourself to think that you knew perfectly well who it was all
along.
--- Douglas Adams, The Meaning of Liff
