Abraham Janssen (chess player)
text:
Abraham Janssen was a British chess player who in his heyday was one of the strongest players in the world. Janssen was most likely related to Sir Abraham Janssen, 2nd Baronet, a Member (MP) of the Parliament of Great Britain for Dorchester 1720 to 1722. The name Janssen is Flemish or Brabantic so it's also highly likely the family originated in the Southern Netherlands. Most likely in 1747 Janssen, who was then the best player in England, played a match against Philidor in Old Slaughter's Coffe
