How about
Yace 2.7182818284590452353602874713526624977572470936999
then?
If that version played really well, we could call it "a natural" player.
Wood chessmen are made out of what? A log, obviosly.
Or you could make a "golden" version of Yace and call it:
Yace 1.6180339887498948482045868343656381177203091798057
But then, if it did not play up to expectations, someone might call you a
'fibber'
