Would you please change this name Baron Tassilo Heydebrand und der Lasa to its proper form?

It is absolutely incorrect without the "von."

Baron Tassilo <von> Heydebrand und der Lasa

Personally I rather like titles of nobilities for the few historical figures like Prince Dadian and Count Isouard. It helps place their games in historical context.

The reason why there always seems to be this stubborn block of 2000-2500 slips is mostly because now we're coping with the really hard correction slips; ones that were read, we said "oy!" and then went on to grab low-hanging fruit.

Often we get slips of the form "I'm not really sure but it's a good guess that this H Schmidt is really Harvey Schmidt from Connecticut..." and we're not sure how seriously we can take that advice. To get to the bottom of this, research is required. Likewise, the player who is a little better over the board loses at move 38 ... curiously before time control. People will submit a note saying "nobody would resign there", but perhaps there is a story we don't know.

We don't know if it's possible for us to do all this research but we hate to delete a slip entirely--after all, the guy could easily be right.

So it should be obvious why the Librarian doesn't process slips in a strictly "first come first serve order". You really wouldn't like it if she operated that way; it would mean that your correction slip today will be stuck for a few months minimum. So she plays a kind of juggling act: tending to the people who have been waiting the longest overall, but also tending to the people who have been waiting a few days for some simple request.

In English, both in the past and currently, "Von der Lasa" has been the most common short term used, and by a wide margin, at least in my own reading experience.

It's used as the short term (or "last name") in Tim Harding's 2013 "Eminent Victorian Chess Players," for example, exactly the same as we already have at our website Von Der Lasa vs Loewenthal, 1846.

We don't know if it's possible for us to do all this research but we hate to delete a slip entirely--after all, the guy could easily be right.> Possible to provide a forum with additional information's on submission slips requested by Librarian?

Probably doing shots of Dr Pepper.>

Diet Dr Pepper is also a wonderful drink. The best of all diet sodas.

Another great thing, like <TheFocus>, to come out of Texas.

Of course, there is a big difference in taste ever since they began using high fructose corn syrup. But I shall still drink it.

I better stop now. My bib is covered with drool.
