Some of the opening names shown in the top right that Chess.com gives when playing Live Chess are very strange.

For instance, the Open Sicilian...

is referred to by the Opening Explorer as the Keres Variation, which is this:

2 other interesting examples:

The Italian Game (wrongly called the Bishop's Opening):

The Najdorf Sicilian (questionably called the Najdorf, Anti-English Variation):

My guess would be that maybe the names of some uncommon transpositions are being shown instead of the actual commonly played lines. This is a relatively minor issue, but it would be nice if it were addressed!

They all look fine to me - perhaps it could be a connection issue.

Or maybe it was fixed in the last 20 hours.
