How did this happen?

[John Upham]

I played a part game on chess.com with the Black pieces as follows:

[Event "CC26 D1 R7 Royal County of Berkshire vs Team Channel Islands - Board 3"] [Site "Chess.com"] [Date "2026.05.27"] [Round "?"] [White "karponandon"] [Black "jeupham"] [Result "*"] [TimeControl "1/259200"] [WhiteElo "1652"] [BlackElo "1893"] [Termination "unterminated"] [ECO "B13"] 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. exd5 cxd5 4. Nf3 Nf6 5. Bd3 Bg4 6. h3 Bh5 7. g4 Bg6 8. Ne5 Nc6 9. Bb5 Nd7 10. Bxc6 bxc6 11. Nxc6 Qc7 12. Nb4 e6 13. Nd3 Bd6 14. Nc3 Rb8 15. O-O h5 16. Re1 hxg4 *

Being somewhat naive I assumed that this was a Caro Kann, Exchange Variation.

However, chess.com wants to call it:

Indian Game: Spielmann-Indian Variation (!)

I know chess.com concocts bizarre new names for openings we all know as something else but how on earth did it come up with Indian Game?

I suppose it's because 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 c5 (the Spielmann-Indian Variation) 3.e3 cxd4 4.exd4 d5 transposes.
