| Name: Fraser, W. |

| |
| Notes: |
| ChessBase Player Database gives birth year 1800, but doubtful. Name given as 'Frazer' by de Saint-Amant (Le Palamède, 1836, p.187). The Chess Player's Chronicle of 1847 (v.8, p.175) has a Fraser at the annual dinner of the London Chess Club; could this be W. Fraser? |
