Eventually, my program will have the ability to do stuff on the net, but I don't
like names that have the word "Chess" in them. There are already way too many:

BugChess
Chess Genius
Chess Tiger
Chess Wizard
Chesster
ChessMaster
EXchess
GromitChess
KChess
LChess
MChess
SSEChess
ZChess
WinChess
and many more....
