| Jun-09-25 | | stone free or die: Good work, <CG>, getting this up so quickly. But Niemann's adversary isn't <Sarin>, it's <Nihal>. From <wiki>
<In this Indian name, the name Sarin is a patronymic, and the person should be referred to by the given name, Nihal.> And his FIDE card is <Nahil Sarin>, without a comma which means Sarin isn't to be used a s a surname. Thanks. |

 | | MissScarlett: <Niemann> is a patronymic, isn't it? |

| Jun-09-25 | | stone free or die: <MissScarlett: <Niemann> is a patronymic, isn't it?> No, his father's name is David(*).

(*) Don't trust me? Just ask Google AI:
<While some combinations involving "Niemann" can be patronymic, like "Henrichsen Niemann" (son of Henrich) or "Rasmussen Niemann" (son of Rasmus), the surname "Niemann" itself generally is not considered a patronymic surname.Instead, Niemann primarily originates from:
• A geographical/characteristic description: It's a northern German variant of "Neumann" meaning "newcomer" from Middle Low German nie ('new') + man ('man'). etc/etc.>
Basically, <Nahil>'s case is the same as this guy's - Dommaraju Gukesh |
|
| Jun-09-25 | | stone free or die: aka <Gukesh D> on his FIDE card. |
|
| Jun-09-25 | | stone free or die: Harrumph!
If <CG> doesn't get this right, pretty soon people are going to pick up the bad habit of calling him <Sarin> instead of <Nihal>. (Though worse would be calling him Nahil!) |
