My first tries were named without much imagination 'Shakki', simply 'Chess'
in finnish language. Later I found the name Nero as my friend had program
Genius 2 on his computer. 'Nero' means genius in finnish, and that's it's
story... As a bonus Nero means also infamous roman emperor, and in italish
it means black.
