The idea of organizing the 3rd All-Russian Chess Tournament appeared in the Kiev Chess Society in the summer of 1901, shortly after the 2nd All-Russia tournament, which took place in Moscow (in the Moscow Chess Club) from December 26, 1900 to January 14, 1901. But only that the founded Kiev Chess Society did not immediately reach the opportunity to begin the actual organization of the tournament, and the thought of it, barely appearing, subsided. However, after a year & mdash; in the summer of 1902 & mdash; the idea of the tournament was revived again in the Kiev Society and this time with more solid chances for its implementation. Adopted sympathetically everywhere, the idea of the tournament in Kiev found warm support in the Chess Review. This work with joint forces went so successfully that by the end of 1902 it became clear that there was a full opportunity to organize a tournament. PHOTO PHOTO

    Workshop A.E. Karpov. There is a certificate with an autograph A.E. Karpov. Products are made (of boxwood and bog oak.) Register number D16. King height - 8 cm. Size - 44x44 cm. This is very Russian chess. Each of the figures is a kind of stylized Vanka-Vstanka, personifying the features of a national character - inflexibility and perseverance. The favorite toy of the kids turned out to be very useful on the chessboard - it never falls (for this, a personal weight stabilizer was developed for each figure), which means even a defeated king will never be defeated. All figures "Invincible" are made by hand from the most exotic and precious woods. Noble materials played with new colors on the chessboard.
