Night at the Museum 2022

The CFR Chess Museum took part in a traditional action “Night at the Museum” held on the night of May 21st to 22nd, 2022. The Chess Museum’s director Tatyana Kolesnikovich and the Museum’s curator, candidate of historical sciences Dmitry Oleinikov gave five excursions non-stop: more than 100 people joined the tours around the Museum, while more than 250 visitors came to see the unique exhibition by themselves. The mansion on Gogolevsky boulevard has never witnessed so many guests during previous actions!

On the first floor, grandmaster Mikhail Kobalia and his student, international master Volodar Murzin held a simultaneous exhibition (the simul-givers made moves one by one). The event brought together 81 players. Mikhail Vasiliev managed to win a game. All the participants were presented with books from the CFR Library and memorable albums.
