Pierre Charles Fournier De Saint-Amant
Pierre Charles Fournier de Saint-Amant (12 September 1800 – 29 October 1872) was a leading French chess master and an editor of the chess periodical '' Le Palamède''. He is best known for losing a match against Howard Staunton in 1843 that is often considered to have been an unofficial match for the World Chess Championship. Chess career Saint-Amant learned chess from Wilhelm Schlumberger, who later became the operator of The Turk. He played at the Café de la Régence, where he was a student of Alexandre Deschapelles. Anne Sunnucks, ''The Encyclopaedia of Chess'', St. Martin's Press, 1970, p. 419. For many years he played on level terms with Boncourt, a strong player, and received odds of pawn and two moves from Deschapelles and Louis-Charles Mahé de La Bourdonnais. In 1834–36, he led a Paris team that won both games of a correspondence match against the Westminster Club, then England's leading chess club.

Antoine Girard De Saint-Amant
Antoine Girard, sieur de Saint-Amant (September 30, 1594December 29, 1661) was a French poet. Saint-Amant was born near Rouen. His father was a merchant who had, according to his son's account, been a sailor and had commanded for 22 years "''une escadre de la reine Elizabeth''" – a vague statement that lacks confirmation. The son obtained a patent of nobility, and attached himself to different great noblemen – the duc de Retz and the comte d'Harcourt among others. He saw military service and sojourned at different times in Italy, in England – a sojourn which provoked from him a violent poetical attack on the country, ''Albion'' (1643) – in Poland, where he held a court appointment for two years, and elsewhere. Saint-Amant's later years were spent in France; and he died at Paris. Saint-Amant has left a considerable body of poetry. His ''Albion'' and ''Rome ridicule'' set the fashion of the burlesque poem. In his later years he devoted himself to serious subjects and prod ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
