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.
In Hungarian there's an accent on the 'a': Pál. That is the correct
spelling of his name.
