Why is the Chief Minister of Gibraltar a chess bot?

Noticed he looked familiar, then figured out he was the Chief Minister of a country. Does anyone know why Fabian Picardo is a chess bot?

I wonder if it is a slight against Stuart Conquest who is a GM. Does he support another chess site?

I can't find anything about how he relates to Fabian or Gibraltar though.

Stuart Conquest is director of the Gribaltar tournament. He is also a GM. Great guy, I feel Gibraltar tournament is one of the best events. I remember years ago watching the Zurich tournament, then the Tata Steel, then Gibraltar. Who knows what next year will bring.

If you don't know about the Gibraltar tournament, you have to see this video of Hikaru watching Aronian lose.
