Darya Alexandrovna made an attempt to play, but it was a long time before she could understand the game, and by the time she did understand it, she was so tired that she sat down with Princess Varvara and simply looked on at the players.

Her partner, Tushkevitch, gave up playing too, but the others kept the game up for a long time.

Sviazhsky and Vronsky both played very well and seriously.
