This is a fair point. I am open to suggestions on the name. Initially I wanted to use the name "Double Move Chess" and was quite disappointed to find that the name was taken. I clearly failed to do another search, as I was unaware of "Chess2 - The Sequel" until now.

I like "Chess2" because of the double meaning of it being the second version of the game as well as it being characterized by two-move turns. The alternative "Chess2.0" would sort of lose the second meaning.

But you're right, this needs a new name. I will try to think of a better name, and again, suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks.
