Subject: Question for Bob Hyatt ...

Hi Bob,

since many years I wrote:
Prof. Robert Hyatt
(public information on webpages and so on).

For around five years I got the information Prof. "with" ""Dr."" is right.
Please no ask me ... from which person you have the info. My brain loosed the
information.

In engines.ini from Arena Chess GUI we have add at the moment:
Dr. Robert Hyatt (the next variant).

What is right Bob?

Prof. Dr. Robert Hyatt
Prof. Robert Hyatt
Dr. Robert Hyatt
Robert Hyatt
Bob Hyatt
Robert
or ...
only Bob :-))

I am sure you will say: Robert Hyatt

But this is important if persons have interest to public information ...
Hope you understand the "little" problem!

Have a nice day!

I disagree. If you look at main.c in Crafty source you will see the copyright
statemen "Crafty, copyright 1996-2001 by Robert M. Hyatt, Ph.D." Also, if you
refer to the University of Alabama, Birmingham web site, the faculty listing for
him carries the same credentials.
A person with a Ph.D has the right to use Dr., so Dr. Robert M. Hyatt is
correct.
