Name: Ralli, D.

Died:
 
Notes:
The first initial 'M' appears on the cover of the Jan. 1854 Chess Player's Chronicle, but one wonders if this might just be the abbreviation for 'Monsieur'. The 15 Oct. 1854 and 3 Dec. 1854 issues of the Era have 'De F. Ralli'. The 16 Sep. 1855 and 26 Jul. 1857 issues of the Era have 'D.T. Ralli'. Löwenthal in his book on the Congress of 1862 gives 'D.G. Ralli', and this also appears on the cover of the Report on the Manchester Meeting of 1857. However, on pp.39 and 41 of that report, his name is given as 'Ralli Mr D.T.'. Other places (e.g. The Era of 6 June 1858, p.13) it is given as 'D.F. Ralli'.
