    Actually, the locale was the Palace Square in Leningrad (at that time, the great city hadn't been St. Petersburg for a decade). The game played was a draw between two masters of that time, Peter Romanovsky and Ilya Rabinovich with the moves transmitted by telephone. This Live Chess spectacle, put on July 20, 1924, lasted 5 hours and attracted an audience of 8,000. The Black pieces were represented by members of the Red Army. The White pieces were represented by members of the Red Fleet. This was an annual event, designed to promote chess in the USSR, that had taken place since 1921 at different venues: 1921 in Smolensk, 1922 in Kerch, 1923 in Omsk and 1924 in Moscow. https://www.chess.com/forum/view/fun-with-chess/human-chess-outdoors-1924
