I had to look in the dictionary for this (sounded like fantom to me at first),
and the next word there is "fatigue" which might also fit to a chess program
from the viewpoint of the human opponent. But it's less advertising I think.

I always thought, "Volcano" would be a good name for a chess program, if style
and strength meets the expectations. Since I'll never have a program of my own,
I can give the idea away as well, if you want to use it...
