--- NAMING ---

The name is Checkmate Live - two words, both capitalised. Not CheckMate,
Checkmate.live or Checkmate-Live. CML can be used as shorthand for Checkmate
Live: spell the name out in full on first mention, then CML is fine, as it
is in interface labels and captions. In the logo the wordmark is set
CHECKMATE; that styling belongs to the mark - don't set the name in all caps
in running text to match it.
