But anyways we are talking about the 19th century here. I am actually at a lost for words on what to say about the 19th century.
It was around the time electricity was starting to become invited. I guess some people were excited to play chess in the dark? I don't know.
I got absolutely nothing here lol. How to start the ball rolling on the 19th century is tough.
Before Edison, there was Rockefeller; before Rockefeller, there was Moby Dick.
In other words, ancient chess players hunkered over the board in their caves with torches while others carved the day's hunt on the walls. Later, whale oil lit the taverns where men escaped domestic responsibilities to play chess. As whales became scarce, the oil tycoons manufactured kerosene. Then Edison invented the research laboratory and made the light bulb economically feasible.
True
Maybe they was happy they didn't have to refill the lantern with more oil to keep it lit.
