first & last name?
I know that in different cultures the concept of first & last names is not always the same as in "Western culture", i.e., "given" and "family name". But I find some contradictions and would like to know the opinion of people who may know better. For example, on chess.com and elsewhere, he is referred to as "Dr. Bassem" which would mean that "Bassem" would be his last and/or family name, and/or the name strangers (not personal friends) would address him with. However, on other databases they use the opposite convention: see e.g. Isn't this a contradiction, to say "B. Amin", but "Dr. Bassem" ? &mdash; MFH:Talk 14:22, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * https://www.dailychess.com/chess/grandmaster-games/index.php?player=Bassem-Amin&masterplayerid=15876 where they write, for example: "Amin, Bassem vs Nakamura, Hikaru" (which would mean that they use "Amin" as family/last name).
 * https://www.chessgames.com/perl/ezsearch.pl?search=bassem : they write just "B Amin"
 * also on https://database.chessbase.com/ you cannot find him searching for "Bassem", you have to search for "Amin", and you will find, e.g., "Amin Bassem vs Carlsen Magnus" (so they write the main/family name first).

PS: Why is this article in "low importance chess articles" (and other "low importance...") when it is about the best chess player of the whole continent of Africa, who won several times against the 5x US Champion Hikaru Nakamura? &mdash; MFH
