Le Palamède

Le Palamède was the world's first periodical devoted to the game of chess.

[1][2] It was founded in France in 1836 by Louis-Charles Mahé de la Bourdonnais,[1][2][3] who is often considered to have been an unofficial world chess champion.

[4][5] It ceased publication in 1839, but was revived in December 1841 by Pierre Charles Fournier de Saint-Amant, who continued publishing it until the end of 1847.

[6][7][8] The magazine was named after Palamedes, the inventor of dice in Greek mythology.
