The one other annotation of this one was four years ago for new watchers,
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/displaycomment.php?commentid=18022. The Big Bang stuck after committee of Carl Sagan, Hugh Downs et al. rejected all entries' improvement in the 'Sky & Telescope' contest of renaming year 1993. Yet Big Bang of Fred Hoyle coinage is not very descriptive and seeming worse all the time.  The morality happens to suggest instead ''The Glowth'' in all succinct scientific seriousness. 
Three serio-casual Contests to transpire over year 2011:
(1) Re-name the Big Bang. It has been 20 years since that last try, so really find a better term.  Http://news.discovery.com/space/the-big-bang-is-a-big-bust-for-skeptics.html.
(2)  Re-name ''Chess.'' The new tag should absolutely not be culture-bound and rather cut across with meaning and significance at least three of: Russian, German, French, English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese M., Bengali, Hindi, Cherokee.
(3) What should Chess piece-types 'King' and 'Queen' be called as replacement, since those names are rooted in past privilege and connotation.  Legal and okay are 
existing paired terms from another's cv any time or any place, that entrance here will serve to remind for creative purpose.
Summation: All entries must have an author.
