Yes I think he is. He got quite an impressive career there-  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Nunn

"He is married to Petra Fink-Nunn, a German chess player with the title Woman FIDE Master. They have a son, Michael." at least his wife can play chess, lucky for him.

Dr John Nunn graduated from Oxford University in 1978 (aged 23) with a Doctorate in Mathematics. He graduated in 1973 aged just 18. He is one bright lad!

just an off-the-wall question, but how does one get to be a doctor in mathematics - does u use numbers to make people better, or is u bendin' 'em outta shape so the powers-that-be can pretend they is workin' for the common good ( all these suits is forever bangin' on about that ) Laughing
