A chess term for one who only knows how the pieces move. They do not know any strategy behind these moves.
Relevance: Back in the day, chess pieces were made of wood. To be called a wood-pusher is an insult. It means you know only how the pieces move, and no strategy towards the game of chess at all.

Woodpusher or Wood Pusher, a nickname, originally the term was used at the transition time of wood boards from the mass-produced, plastic “banana” board, in the mid to late 80's. It was named for the foward kicking motion to propel the skateboard forward.
Origin time: Mid 80's. The term was first used in and around Richmond and Vancouver, BC Canada, about the same time that Kevin Harris opened the Indoor Richmond Skate Ranch with Tony Hawk. The Richmond Skate Ranch, was an indoor skateboard facility featuring multiple ramps and wooden park features, including the "mini Chin", a complex multi-ramp structure designed by Lance Mountain, located in Richmond, British Columbia Canada. The Ranch closed in 1993.
