He spent a large part of his life in France and England In Paris he opened a hotel with coffee house (1795), which he had closed in 1836. He continued with a survey of endgame analyses and a compilation of nearly two thousand chess problems, which he published in 1846 as Collection des plus beaux Problemes d'Echecs, Paris, and simultaneously in English and German translations: MBeauties of Chess, London, and Praktische Sammlung bester Schachspiel-Probleme, Leipzig.
