Soft cover. Condition: Poor. See photos for condition details. This book is in several pieces and is missing the front and rear covers as well as the entire spine. All of the page sections are very precariously held together by the original binding string with the exception of the quadrant of pages starting at 629 through the rear end page. What makes this book special ( even in this condition) is that it is signed and numbered by the author an chess study composer on the upper corner of the title page. The beginning of this book starts with the half title page and ends with the blank rear end page. The paper is toned and the half title page has some penciling along the top edge as well as spotting where you could see something sat on top of this for quite some time, and some small tears are present. There are also a few sections of pages, such as the preface and around page 167 where there are brown spots along the top edge letter not the same as foxing spots. There also some sections of the pages that are still uncut along the top edge but we only found a couple of pages like this. The majority the pages are unmarked although the page for group 1 as a small red checkmark and 2/46 lightly written in pencil. The detached section of pages from the back also has a small stain in the upper corner. The exterior top edge also has spotting present. The book is in pieces but does appear to be complete, making this an excellent candidate for rebinding. Signed by Author(s).…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Post card written in German in Rinck's neat hand signed at the bottom. Items in Rinck's hand are scarce. Henri Rinck was a French chess study composer, considered one of the most important early figures in the field. He was born in Lyon (France) on January 10, 1870, where his family were brewers (Brasserie Rinck). He graduated as a chemical engineer at the Technische Hochschule of Munich (Germany). He then worked at the Faculté des Sciences in Lyon as an assistant of Dr. Barbier. In 1897 he discovered a refining process for green vegetable oils, which was applied in Marseille (France), then by several olive oil refineries in Spain. In 1900 he set up a factory in Badalona (Spain) and lived there with his family. Before the end of the Spanish civil war he had to leave Spain. He established himself in Marseille, but returned to Spain later. His first chess endgame studies appeared from 1902 in the Deutsche Schachzeitung. In 1909 he published the first collection 150 fins de partie (with an introduction by Johann Berger). A second edition followed in 1913, and in 1919 300 fins de partie and in 1927 700 fins de partie. In 1947 he published Las sorpresas de la teoria (The Surprises of Theory), containing 111 endgames on rook against two minor pieces, and, together with Louis Malpas, Dame contre tour et cavalier (Queen Against Rook and Knight). Rinck died in Badalona on February 17, 1952. Six days before his death he was handed out the first copy of his ultimate collection 1414 fins de partie. On his request he was buried with this book under his arm. Condition: Some light edge wear, canceled stamp on front. A very good piece. Signed by Author(s).…
