The strongest player at that time was Andre Nillson, playing under the handle 'Gnejs'. I reversed it to 'Sjeng'. I like the sound of it, so I kept it. Also, there's a Dutch tennis player who is actually named like that. Good thing I didn't start with normal chess. Vorapsak and Kinmark don't sound like names that will ever be popular. -- GCP
