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!
As far as I can tell, your problem with the name stems from your English (not British) pride and your prejudice against Scotland, as your main complaint has been that the Unicorn (which represents Scotland) is more powerful than the Lion (which represents England). This is not a matter of insulting the British, and although you come from Britain, you speak only for your own personal prejudices and not for your whole nation.
