Look at the photo proc in main.tcl. It converts names to lower case and
strip the first two blanks.

I checked that in my case hash keys are lower case strings. I guess that it
happend due to photo proc.

Of course I didn't touch FIDE.spf
[mkalen...@sadki photos]$ grep -i kasparov FIDE.spf
photo "Kasparov, Garry" {
photo "Kasparov, Sergey" {
photo "Kasparova, Tatiana" {
