Talk:John K. Shaw

Middle name - K?
I haven't been able to find any citation in books/magazines, or on the web, for the K. used in the article name here. The other language wiki sites use the equivalent of 'John Shaw (chess player)'. Chessgames.com use the K., but again don't justify its use. As there are several references to John Shaw of Kilmarnock, for example at the Chess Scotland website, I am wondering if Kilmarnock has been mistaken as his middle name. Can anyone clear this up? Or maybe just change the article title to match other wiki sites - please note 'John Shaw (chess player)' already links to the article from the John Shaw disambig page.

 * Unfortunately I don't have any additional information about his middle initial. I agree that moving the article to John Shaw (chess player) is the right move if we can't verify the K.  Chessgames.com alone isn't sufficient to support it. Quale (talk) 12:34, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
