Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-27-04  Vischer: I am pretty sure Alonzo is Paul Morphy's father, but does anyone know if Ernest is related, or if he's just a fake like S Poobesh Anand and Raymond Weinstein?
Apr-27-04  Benzol: Ernest was Paul's Uncle I believe.
Apr-27-04  Calli: Yes, Ernest Morphy is Paul Morphy's uncle. I have a book with picture of him. Bearded fellow with some resemblence to Morphy, although much older.
