Biographical data Name: Lécrivain, Louis Siméon   Born: 1798 Died: 1860   Notes: First names provided by Dominique Thimognier. Since he signed himself 'S. Lécrivain' in Le Palamède, I presume he used his second name preferentially. His death is reported in the July 1860 issue of La (Nouvelle) Régence (p.221), so he probably died in June. His age at death is given as 62, so presumably he was born in 1797 or 1798.   References Books    Cornil, Le Café de la Régence, page 18, 35    Fiske, First American Chess Congress, page 38    Utterberg, De la Bourdonnais versus McDonnell, page 332    Winter, Kings, Commoners and Knaves, page 55 Periodicals    [CMNY], vol. 4, no. 8, Aug. 1860, page 256    [CPC], vol. 13, no. 4, Apr. 1852, page 121    [NR], vol. 1, no. 1, Jan. 1860, page 8    [NR], vol. 1, no. 7, July 1860, page 221    [NR], vol. 2, no. 2, Feb. 1861, page 34    [NR], vol. 5, no. 1, Jan. 1864, page 5    [NYC], 11 Aug. 1860    [Pal], vol. 1, no. 6, 15 Aug. 1836, page 216    [Pal], vol. 2, no. 12, 15 Nov. 1842, page 211    [Pal], vol. 3, no. 9, 15 Sep. 1843, page 412    [Pal], vol. 4, no. 1, 15 Jan. 1844, page 36    [Pal], vol. 5, no. 1, 15 Jan. 1845, page 30    [Pal], vol. 5, no. 9, 15 Sep. 1845, page 403    [Pal], vol. 6, no. 1, 15 Jan. 1846, page 18    [Pal], vol. 6, no. 4, 15 Apr. 1846, page 178    [Pal], vol. 6, no. 11, 15 Nov. 1846, page 518    [Phil], vol. 1, no. 3, Feb. 1838, page 120    [Reg], vol. 2, no. 4, Apr. 1850, page 101    [Reg], vol. 3, no. 2, Feb. 1851, page 36    [Reg], vol. 3, no. 11, Nov. 1851, page 351    [Reg], no. 2, 15 Feb. 1856, page 35    [RSI], vol. 1, no. 11, Nov. 1900, page 298    [Sis], vol. 4, 1860, page 305    [SZ], vol. 5, no. 10, Oct. 1850, page 349 Web    Edge, F.M.  [Edge and Morphy at the Café de la Régence], page 148    Sarah.  [State of Chess in 1838]    Spinrad, Jeremy P.  [Collected results, 1836-1863]    Spinrad, Jeremy P.  [When Blindfold Chess Became Easy], page 3    Winter, Edward.  [CN 4259.
