I get asked about the name. I made a joke about it and then just kind of ran with it. For those old enough to know the movie The Outlaw Josey Wales with Clint Eastwood, that’s where I got the. “inspiration”. At first I just thought it was stupid and goofy but the movie’s tagline is “an army of one” which, to me, relates to playing chess. You are on your own. You and your grand plan to checkmate your opponent. In that context it may not seem so stupid but it’s still goofy.
Chessy Wales? Really?
