In 1995, one of the first version of what is now known as "Chess Tiger" was
actually called "Tigress" (in french, a "tigresse" is the female of the tiger,
and is also used to describe an agressive woman).
I also remember a program called "Duchess" which for me sounds as a female name.
I think there was also "Princhess" which sounds the same.
I also remember Kaissa, the russian program, but I'm not sure about the gender
of this name.
Oh, and there is also the english program Francesca.
