Life

Until he was 18, Yevtifeyev rarely played chess due to a lack of playing partners. In the 1890s he moved to Saint Petersburg and began studying at the local university. In 1896 he finished third in a student handicap tournament for the first category players. From 1905 he took part in tournaments of the St. Petersburg Chess Society. In the Rice Gambit tournament in 1905 he was second behind Mikhail Chigorin with 8.5 points out of 14 . In the same year he shared victory in a tournament (category I) with Grigori Helbach , in another competition in autumn 1905 he was shared third with Boris Maljutin.

In early 1906 Evtifejew shared sixth place with Alexander Romanovsky at the IV All-Russian Championship in Saint Petersburg. In the St. Petersburg newspaper he was described as "a combination player par excellence, but who doesn't care about a few wrong combinations, if they are just beautiful". Georg Marco described his game against Stefan Isbinski, which he won with white pieces, as "one of the most brilliant games" of the tournament. In the four-way battle with Simon Alapin , Eugène Znosko-Borovsky and Tschigorin in 1906, he finished third with 5.5 points out of 12. The next year he shared sixth place with Sergei von Freimann in another tournament for the players in the first category. He resigned from the tournament for the title of master of the St. Petersburg Chess Society in 1908 after two lost games.

In the next few years, Yevtifeyev, who was employed by the savings bank administration, was not successful. In February 1909 he finished twelfth in All-Russian amateur tournaments and in 1911 came 21st. He played his last games in a major tournament at the VIII All-Russian Master's Tournament in 1913/1914, defeating three opponents and getting 4.5 Points from 17.
