I guess you liked "pro Deo" more ???
And what about Opus Dei ?
I am not pro Deo as I don't use them. The chess engine is fine, though.
Never heard of "Opus Dei" as a chess engine. As a Protestant, I steer clear of the secretive group.

I think such discussions are helpful to let programmers know that the naming of their software matters a lot.stegemma wrote:And this kind of paradoxical discussions are another good hint to change the engine name!Matthias Gemuh wrote:

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

I guess if one is so sensitive to an engine name one cannot enjoy movies like "Prince of Darkness" or "La maschera del demonio".
"Chirstine" would have been a nice name too.

Not long ago, a few took offense to the name, 'Blitzkrieg' too.F. Bluemers wrote:I guess if one is so sensitive to an engine name one cannot enjoy movies like "Prince of Darkness" or "La maschera del demonio".

I must admit that I wouldn't have bothered with an engine called 'Satana', but I am happy with 'Sabrina'.

Linux/Unix users works friendly with "daemons" while any user has to be scared by "virus", "worms" and so on. We have "dead" processes and we "kill" any process that we don't like.
