I think the name HMChess was there first (it's been playing under this name at
FICS for a long time), but then again there's my favourite chess program, which
is called M-Chess - and which had that name for many, many years ;-)

Djordje suggested to call the program "The Crusader" some time ago, he said it
would fit it's style :)

Maybe I'll do that.


Smiling,

Heiko.
