Napoleon Marache (June 15 1818 – May 11 1875) was born in France and moved to the United States at about age 12. He learned the game of chess around 1844 and immediately became a devotee. He began composing chess problems and writing about chess the following year. In the mid-19th century he was both one of America’s first chess journalists and one of its leading players.
