What does gyp mean?
What does gyp mean?
How do you usually use this word? And how often it can be heard/seen? From what I can gather, it has a couple of meanings. That said, it'd be much appreciated if you provide some examples:)

@ @dest1ny- Yes, one meaning that I am aware of. Chloe_ktj is correct, and it is a slur.

I have this Russian chess book from 1959. Here is most of what it says (I think) on the title page. Could you please translate it for me? Thank you so much!

It's about "шахматные избранные этюды" (= chess favorite etudes). "Шахматный этюд" - a position composed by a chess composer in which one of the sides (usually white) is asked to complete a task (to win or to draw), without specifying the number of moves required to achieve this goal. A chess player who makes "этюды" (plural) is called "этюдист".
Note: the word "этюд" has a plethora of meanings... just saying
