Organization is FIDE for Chess Compositions:http://www.saunalahti.fi/~stniekat/pccc/general.htm


What's this -- they did not give GM Benko a title
until 1995, and then misspelled his name?

"Paul Benko"??!

They did not mis-spell his name. His name really is Paul. It is
spelled Pal in Hungarian with a umlaut over the a as in ä.

Take a close look at the cover of my book. Notice the two little dots
over the letter a. That is the correct spelling of his name.
