Blikskottel is Afrikaans slang, and translates approximately as 'rascal' (though
literally it means something like tin dish!). If a kid kicked a football through
your window you might call them a blikskottel. I'm pretty sure this is still the
only chess engine with an Afrikaans name - and I reckon if it can't be unique on
account of its strength, then at least I can give it a singular name!
