EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Lukhtanska in the late 1880s, showcases the members of the Krasnoyarsk chess circle, participants in the historic telegraphic match between the teams of Krasnoyarsk and St. Petersburg. The match took place from November 11, 1886, to September 1888, making it an important milestone in the annals of Russian chess history. The image captures the intense concentration and focus of the chess players, as they sit around the ornate wooden chessboard, their gazes fixed on the game in progress. The formal setting of the room, with its elaborate furniture and decor, underscores the significance of the event. The men, dressed in the fashion of the time, exude an air of seriousness and determination. The telegraphic match was a groundbreaking achievement in communication technology, allowing the teams to compete against each other from distant locations. The use of telegraphy marked a new era in chess, paving the way for international competitions and the global popularity of the game. This photograph is part of a larger collection of over four hundred images, documenting daily life in Yenisei Province during the late tsarist period. The collection, housed in the Library of Congress, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the lives of peasants, Cossacks, and high-ranking officials in Siberia, Russia. The photograph's intricate details, from the textured fabric of the men's clothing to the intricate patterns on the chessboard, invite closer inspection, making it a treasure trove for historians, chess enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of Russia and its people.
