Are people seriously complaining that a symbol on an online chess site is "rude"? What has this world come to? Everyone is so fragile and weak, it's pathetic. Try to toughen up, people. It's going to be ok...
The Tortoise Society here in the Great South West is honored to have our beloved friend represented by a chess Icon here at lichess. We call him Elmo. Elmo represents perseverance above all else. He survives in the toughest living conditions known to the planet, never complaining, always ready to take on any challenge.
No! His name isn't Elmo. Its Classios the classy Classical Turtle.
The icons are more than alright.
