| Biographical data |
| Name: Belaieff, Alexander Petrovich |
| Also known as: Belayev |
| Born: 1803 |
| Died: 1887 |
| |
| Notes: |
| Name given variously as Belaieff, Belaief, Belieff, Belieffe in the Illustrated London News. Gaige has 'Beliaev', but I wonder if this is an error for 'Belaiev'? The Era of 9 Apr. 1865 (p.6) has 'Belleff' and the 28 May 1865 issue (p.14) has 'Belleaff'. The Schachzeitung of 1 Sep. 1867 (p.277) has 'Belajeff'. |
