DENIS JULIEN
(born 1806, died Apr-23-1868, 61 years old) France (federation/nationality United States of America)

[what is this?]

Julien settled in New York in 1845 and established the St. Denis Hotel, a popular chess resort, on Broadway in 1852. He was known both as a player and especially as a problem-composer.

The St. Denis Hotel was the venue at which the 1st American Chess Congress members held their famous dinner with "...huge cakes in the shapes of chessboards, as well as kings, queens and knights in jelly and bishops rooks and pawns in cream adorned the tables. There were statues of Benjamin Franklin carved out of ice and a confectionery castle to Caïssa and a monument to Philidor" (François André Philidor). Julien was slated to be a competitor but gave up his seat to allow for an even number of competitors. In Louis Paulsen 's 4-board blindfold demonstration (in which Paul Morphy took one of the boards and also played blindfolded), Julien took one board while William James Appleton Fuller and C.H. Schultz took the remaining two. Paulsen beat Fuller and Schultz, but only drew with Julien. Morphy won his game.
