"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.

In my quotation above, I did not include the umlaut simply
because my keyboard doesn't have 'em. In fact, the Web
site has his name as Paul Benko with an umlaut over the o.
So if the correct spelling has umlauts over both the o and
the a, they still got it wrong. (Or maybe I am too sleepy to
remember?)

Take a close look at the cover of my book.

Okay: it says: Winning with the Damiano's Attack,
and then underneath it has the moves 1. e4 e5,
2. Nf3?! f6!!, 3. Nxe5?? fxe5!!! - +


I think you must have written that before the invention
of Fritz.


Notice the two little dots
over the letter a.

O k a y. I am seeing dots... over the letter a...


That is the correct spelling of his name.

Now I am feeling sleepy, very sleepy. The dots...
over the letter a... .
