The forgotten recollections of Chigorin's daughter

The forgotten recollections of Chigorin’s daughter

By mishanp on August 18, 2010

Alexander Kentler, who writes a chess column for sportsdaily.ru, was recently sent a remarkable document: the recollections of Mikhail Chigorin’s daughter on the 50th anniversary of her father’s death. She talks of his legendary absent-mindedness, how cigar smoke thwarted his title ambitions, and describes the last moments of his life.
