Pierre Charles Fournier de Saint Amant
"After the death of Bourdonnais, the mantle of leading chess player of France fell upon the shoulders of Pierre Charles Fournier de Saint Amant. Saint Amant was born in Château Latour in the Bordeaux region of France on September 9, 1802.
During his life he was a wine merchant, a clerk, an actor, an explorer, a diplomat and the French (and possibly the world) chess champion.
He learned chess from his mentor Wilhelm (William) Schlumberger."
