It comes from someone who's got a little too much time on their hands (and I just won a game with one of those too!...don't much care what somebody has decided to call it though).

So calling a Q+B a "Ferdi" battery pays homage to the ancient names

Literally no. It pays "homage" to fettarmqp. It's an insider of parts of the german chess streaming community. Nothing beyond that. Blunder_queen is a german streamer too.

Calling a Queen + Bishop alignment a "Ferdi battery" is simply Ferdinand naming a common chess tactic after his own name. It's an inside joke for his community, not an officially recognized historical term.

Yes (although not quite, his community coined this for him, not the other way round) ... so you are still confirming me rather than contradicting me when you write that

edit: lol he poofed his posts
