Other than Enrique, I think it is not because of betas. The name should
reflect the engine. I.e. for yace a temporary account was given. Some names
probably allready were taken. For example if I "fi storm", there seems
to be a chess player behind this account, who has nothing to do with the
storm engine. So strom played as stromX
