It seems the author likes to use variable names to encode messages:

- "Biyubi" looks like his nickname (on his chess site [1] contact mail is "[email protected]")

- there is also "o, S, C, A, R, T, G" which are his first name and surname initials

- and already mentioned "X(c, h, e, s)"

Good catch, although that would be easier to discount as an oversight.
