Alexandre Deschapelles (March 7 1780 Ville-d’Avray near Versailles – October 27 1847 in Paris) was a French chess player who between the death of Philidor and the arrival of Louis de la Bourdonnais was probably the strongest player in the world. He was considered the unofficial world champion from about 1800-1820.
