There should be some mention that Paul Morphy of Louisiana was the unofficial world chess champion just before the Civil War. He won a match against Gen. Winfield Scott once. [[User:Chronicler|Chronicler]] 11:47, 21 September 2007 (EDT)

::It's a response to the claim that Fischer was the only American to be world champion on the page. It's a fair point and I will clarify that he was the only OFFICIAL world champion. (There was no official world champion until Steinitz later in the 19th century.) [[User:DanH|DanH]] 23:17, 1 June 2008 (EDT)
