'Also, given how the game (British Chess) is so based on British heraldry
and other British themes, it would be a grave insult to the British to
call it by that name [Grotesque Chess].'
	Being British myself, I feel more qualified to what is a grave insult to
the British, and it is because I found the name British Chess insulting
that I suggested giving the variant of that name a different one
distancing it ftrom Britain while reflecting a British oppinion of it!
	Where do you want further discussion on the above topic,here or on the
British Chess page?
