Lichess

Why did Thibaut name it Lichess? Why not Thichess or Chessbault or something to do with his name? Why name it Lichess? I wonder what inspired him to call it Lichess.
Maybe "Li" is the short form for "limited intelligence" of human players in contratiction to the far superior intelligence of chess engines?
Another explanation:

Maybe "Li" is the short form for "Low income" players, who can't afford to pay for chess.
@clousems

Why should Lichess be an inferior good ? Which of my postings here in this thread could be interpreted in such a way ?

I guess you are referring to the proposal of "Low income" ? Do you ?

What influence could it have on the quality of a product (=Lichess) if the consumer is low on money ?

Is a product only good, if rich people can afford to buy it ?

By definition, inferior goods are those which see a decrease in consumption as income rises. By associating consumption of lichess with low-income, you are implying that it is an inferior good.
@clousems

I have clearly denied in my last posting that Lichess is somehow inferior !

But it seems that you have problems to accept this. Why ?

Maybe because of my first statement in this thread ? Did I insult you personnally because I wrote something about "limited intelligence".

I guess you take all of this too serious !

From my point of view, the complete thread here was meant funny from the very beginning. But it seems that you didn't understand that.
@Bishop1964 :
You are correct, I DO take personal offense at your assertion that humans have limited intelligence, as this marginalizes such brilliant, omniscient individuals as da Vinci, Mozart, clousems, and Alexander the Great. Also, where did you "clearly deny" anything? Despite my omniscience, I can't find a clear denial.
@clousems

Now I understand your problem.

I strongly recommend that you consult a doctor, before this disease gets out of control.

It seems to me that you only want to argue with somebody about stupid things.

It is a rude thing to make malicious accusations. I clearly denied that stuff with "inferior good" in twice of my postings. Maybe you need new glasses ?

By the way, I have blocked you in the mean time, because such kind of discussions distract me from improving in chess.

Maybe you should also play a little bit more to improve your rating ?

I was just looking for some kind of intelligence ? Look what I have found ! elephant, elephant, ylephant and elephant. Now I am impressed.
