The 'Worker's Chess Calendar 1928' serves as a unique cultural artifact, capturing the intersection of chess and labor movements in the early 20th century. This annual publication was designed to provide workers with a comprehensive guide to chess, including strategies, match records, and biographical sketches of prominent chess figures. It reflects a period when chess was gaining popularity among working-class communities, offering intellectual stimulation and a sense of solidarity. The calendar also contains organizational details for chess clubs and events, acting as both an informational and social tool. Despite its focus on chess, it offers insights into the broader historical context of labor movements, education, and leisure activities of the time. Last publication!
