Famous people

Sarah Ferguson [Duchess of York, British Royalty)

Magnus Carlsen

You should start with the last letter of the prior post. It ended with 'n'; Sarah Ferguson.

Thus I will say: Northrop Frye [Canadian literary critic] You should begin the next one with 'e'.

Eddy Arnold - Country/Western Singer -

Daphne du Maurier, British novelist and playwright

Rory Calhoun -Actor -

Napoleone Buonaparte, also a chessplayer although I don't know of any recorded games.

#228 - I found the Napoléon chess opening 1.e4...e5 2.Qf3. There are games of his available if you are interested. One in which he played "The Turk". It seems he was a mediocre player. It seems he also was a poor loser. Imagine playing someone who could order your execution for beating them at chess! :]

Robert Brown (Botanist)
