My original program was called ChessCraft. I was a huge fan of the old game
WarCraft II, so it was a natural choice.
Later I found the name idea was already taken by Crafty, I didn't want people
thinking I just plagerized the name, so I had to find a new.

The best choices I could come up with were:
Sirius - it is the brightest star on the northern hemisphere.
Quazar - from 'quasar', a most powerful phenomenon in the early Universe,
probably caused by the forming of new galaxies, great mystery still surrounds
the understanding of those objects.
TeereX - my gamer name, used it for 2 years playing Unreal.
Frenzee - from 'frenzy'.

I picked Frenzee, Deep Frenzee sounded better than any of the other Deep ****
names, also because I thought people would understand the name and I wouldn't
have to explain it over and over, the third reason being it is not a real 'brag'
name that indicates brilliant play beyond what it could deliver.
