I did a site search for Rivière but found nothing mentioning that he is the great-great-great grandfather of Boris Johnson.

Re: Jules Arnous de Rivière + our Boris
A former (now deceased) regular at Kendal Chess Club also had the surname Johnson and was apparently a relative of our esteemed PM.
(unfortunately I have forgotten his first name)
EDIT: it was Peter M Johnson, who passed away circa 2016.

Re: Jules Arnous de Rivière + our Boris
H Roger,
I only visit four sites, here, Red Hot Pawn and Chessgames.com and occasionally Edward Winter.
If something interesting like this pops up it eventually gets around to one of them.
I got this from chessgames.com today due to Rivière being involved in the 'Game Of The Day.'
