description: "Jacob Henry Sarratt was one of the top English chess players of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Sarratt was renowned as a player and author and adopted the title \"Professor of Chess\". He was the first professional player to teach chess in England. He introduced into England the chess rule that a stalemate is a draw, which was commonly used on the continent of Europe. He coined with his works of 1813 and 1821 the term Muzio Gambit. He was a pupil of Verdoni and later the teacher of William Lewis and Peter Unger Williams."
