François Antoine de Legall de Kermeur (1702–92) was a French chess player.His name is variously written Kermur Sire de Legalle by Twiss and Kermur and Kermuy Sire de Legal by others. In the List of Subscribers to Philidor’s second edition it stands as in Twiss but the spelling was probably in both cases Philidor’s own.Along with other famous players he played in Paris’s Café de la Régence and is considered to have been possibly the strongest player in the world around the 1730s.
