Is this enough to justify a new name? It's still simply Chest, now running in your graphical user interface. This is not to belittle your project at all - in fact I think many people ( including me) would like to see a nice GUI for Chest very much and support your efforts. On the other hand it might get puzzling if you want to discuss your GUI and people never know if the message might be about the Chest solver itself ?! Chester1 isn't a good name IMHO as it is much too similar to the existing Chester program. Btw there is already another engine called Chesterfield, too :). From your above list I like Chesty most :) hmm - OK, my suggestion: ChestBoard . Yes, I really like this one :) - also it should be easy to get the right idea about what you are doing from the name and it also is a very respectable name anyway ( compair: XBoard,WinBoard -> ChestBoard ) _Everything_ only IMHO of course.
