{The development of chess was stimulated in the coffee houses. Philidor and
Stamma played in Old Slaughter (London 1747). Only the result is known (+8, =1,
-1). At the beginning of the nineteenth century it became possible to travel
from London to Paris within a week. Lewis travelled as a tourist to Paris. At
the Cafe de la Regence he played three games in four hours against
Deschappeles. Lewis got a pawn and the move in each game. Two games ended in a
draw. The decisive combination in game three follows.} 17. f4 $1 {
