Curious fact
Stamma's book introduced algebraic chess notation in an almost fully developed form before the now-obsolete descriptive chess notation evolved
Philipp Stamma (c. 1705 – c. 1755), an Assyrian native of Aleppo, Ottoman Syria, later resident of England and France, was a chess master and a pioneer of modern chess. His name is attached to the Stamma Gambit in the King's Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.h4) and Stamma's mate, a rather rare checkmate.
