Howard Staunton (English Wikipedia)

Several authors concur on Staunton's status as world champion:
- Hooper and Whyld refer to Staunton as "the world's leading player in the 1840s". Hooper, D.; Whyld, K. (1992). The Oxford Companion to Chess (2nd ed.). Oxford University Press. p. 390. ISBN 0-19-866164-9.
- "The Staunton Gambit ... offers White considerable attacking chances."
  
  Fine, R.; Griffith, R.C.; White, J.H. (1939). Modern Chess Openings (6th ed.). David McKay. p. 176.
  The Staunton Gambit gives White "sharp attacking chances for his Pawn" and places the opponent at a psychological disadvantage ..."
  Horowitz, I.A. (1964). Chess Openings: Theory and practice. Simon and Schuster. p. 611.
  Fear of the Staunton Gambit has discouraged many players from using the Dutch.
