unusual facts about Prince André Dadian



Charles Paul Narcisse Moreau

He is sometimes said to have been a last-minute substitute for Mikhail Chigorin, who was apparently dropped after a dispute with the organizer Prince André Dadian, but Spinrad pointed out that this is unlikely because Moreau and Chigorin were both listed among the 14 competitors in a newspaper story in "The New York Sun" and "Salt Lake Herald" from 1902 December 21, several weeks before the tournament started on 1903 February 10.
