Here is what the Russian language Chess Dictionary (Moscow, 1964) had to say about Bobrov:

<BOBROV, <PAVEL PAVLOVICH <(1862-1911)>>>,

Russian chess community statesman, journalist and composer.

Connected with Bobrov's name is the publication of the magazine <Chess Insight>, published at intervals between 1891-1910.

Bobrov was the editor of chess columns in many Moscow newspapers and magazines.

He played a key role in publishing the chess column in <Raduga <(Rainbow)>> magazine, where from 1882 to ceasing of publication in 1897 were published the original chess problems of Russian authors.

In this same chess section was organized the first contest of two-move problems, the judge of which was Bobrov himself.

Jul-12-07  whiteshark:

An enthusiast of chess art, <Bobrov> was the secretary, effectively the leader, of the <Moscow Chess Circle>, one of the organizers of the First, Second, and Third All-Russian Chess Tournaments.

The first was held in 1899; the second in 1900/1901; and the third, in 1903.

<Bobrov> was a very good problemist; a propagandizer of chess problems; organizer and judge of many chess contests, and author of articles on the questions of chess compositions.

I should add that, according to the chess research, <Bobrov> also played in simultaneous exhibitions and consultation games conducted by <Steinitz> and <Lasker> (hear, hear).
