This fortnightly magazine appeared for 12 issues between January and July 1894. Chigorin contributed most of the content and M. Shabelsky also took an active part in the magazine.
In addition to the usual material, the matches between Chigorin and Lasker in 1893, and Lasker and Steinitz in 1894 were covered. The magazine commenced the publication of all the games between Labourdonnais and McDonnell, but only 36 of these "brilliant rejoicing inspirations of the past" had been printed before the journal closed for financial reasons.
192 pages. No index. No titlepage. L/N 6316. Sakharov 257, Di Felice 2422.
Chigorin’s inscription was written on the front flyleaf, but unfortunately the design and color of the flyleaf makes it hard to see his signature, but it is legible.
Condition: Publishers binding. From David DeLucia's chess library. Inscribed on the front flyleaf by Chigorin. 1899. Scarce.
