Using your logic, we should not call Fritz "Fritz" either! From an interview with Frans Morsch I read in Chessbits, it is clear (very clear, actually) that the name of Frans' engine is "Quest", but that the Chessbase marketing choose the name "Fritz" for commercial reasons. The King engine in Chessmaster is a similar case. I have no problems with people saying "Chessmaster" instead of "The King". As long as we say "Pocket Fritz" there should be no risk of confusion, and I think almost everybody here is aware that Pocket Fritz is written by Stefan Meyer-Kahlen. José.
