Claim: The Chess Monthly edited by Daniel Willard Fiske ran for just five volumes and was based in New York City.
Evidence: Edited by professional diplomat and linguistics professor Daniel Willard Fiske, it was co-edited for a time by Paul Morphy. Running for only five volumes, the magazine is perhaps best remembered today for a series of articles written by Silas Mitchell regarding The Turk, the chess-playing machine that perished in a fire in Philadelphia prior to the publication of the magazine. The magazine was based in New York City.
