Chess in the Tomsk region
5 Nov at 12:34 pm
135 years ago, in November 1886, a telegraph match began between the chess players of Krasnoyarsk and St. Petersburg. In 1888, it ended in a sensational victory for the Siberians: they won one game, the other ended in a draw.The team of St. Petersburg included all the strongest players of the capital, with the exception of M.I. Chigorin. Petersburgers E.S. Schiffers. The game of the Krasnoyarsk team was directed by I.T. Savenkov.
The famous Krasnoyarsk scientist and public figure Ivan Timofeevich Savenkov is rightfully considered the main organizer of the match, the ideological inspirer and the "culprit" of the triumph, who consistently implemented this complicated technical procedure at that time.
To do this, for almost four years he had to invent a special telegraph code with the help of which moves were transmitted (later this code was used in Russia for all other long-distance telegraph matches), and then (in the same 1886) to organize a chess circle - the first in Siberia.
Before that, a small circle had existed in Krasnoyarsk for many years, but due to its small size (in 1881, for example, there were no more than six people in it) it could not claim special attention to itself. And only by the beginning of the match Savenkov managed to create a rather serious chess community of almost two dozen members, which included many famous people of Krasnoyarsk and Yeniseisk.
Ivan Timofeevich Savenkov (1846 - 1914) was well known as a historian, archaeologist, scientist and educator. And also - as a very strong chess player of that time. After graduating from the natural history department of the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of St. Petersburg University in 1870, Ivan Timofeevich, as one of the best students, received many tempting offers. He could, if only. wanted to stay in the capital, but decided to dispose of his fate differently: he left for his native Siberia and began his educational activity there as a teacher at the Krasnoyarsk Teachers' Seminary, and then from 1873 to 1893 served as its director.
Pedagogical work took a lot of energy, but I. Savenkov found time for archaeological excavations.
The range of interests of Ivan Timofeevich was wide, but he devoted a significant part of his time to chess. Having become acquainted with chess as a child, he never parted with it all his life. The period when he studied in St. Petersburg was especially important for his improvement as a chess player. It is known, for example, that in 1870-1871 he played two matches with one of the strongest chess players in Russia of that time E. Schiffers. Savenkov won one match and lost the other.
