If a person will speak with him he must give for the second name 3x Dr. Dr. Dr. :-)) A funny dentist but in this questions (form of address) he is adamant! I believe from country to country the people have an other opinion about it. For me it is a question of appreciation. Such a title "Prof" is for me especially. We will public Prof. Robert Hyatt because it's clear that the "Prof" title you have is a good publicity for computer chess (not only your good name for all your helps you give us since many years). The combination is interesting because in Germany the most "Not Chess Player" have the opinion that chess is only for intelligent people. If I read the German fora I have an other opinion :-) Best Frank
