Yes, Petrow was not only the father of the Russian chess School (Russian Philidor), he was also a very strong draughts player.
BTW: Philidor was also very strong at draughts, but he preferred polish draughts to "the ancient game" as they called the english style in France theese days...

The Philidor family were noted musicians as well.
