Title
Master
Napoleon Marache
(June 15, 1818 – May 11, 1875)
[1]
was born in
France
and moved to the
United States
at around 12 years of age. 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. In 1866, he published
Marache's Manual of Chess
, which was one of the country's first books on chess, and also one of its first books on
backgammon
. He is perhaps best known today for having lost a famous game to
Paul Morphy
.

I try to get everything out the next available postal day after payment clears, but my ‘day job’ is very hectic and chaotic from time to time so there might be a couple days delay until I can get to the post office.
Further with the Federal closing of smaller post offices (mine included), it might take a couple extra days to arrive.
