This title, "Eindspelkunst", the 9th Book of ARVES (Alexander Rueb Vereniging voor Schaakeindspelstudie), all the work of chess compositions of Jan H. Marwitz, was published in 2 different formats, a normal edition bound in soft cover, and this edition in hard cover, numbered and limited to only 10 copies. This information does not appear in the book, but has been confirmed by Dr. Jurgen Stigter, at that time ARVES President. So we can say that this book, in this very scarce hardback edition, is a true rarity, almost impossible to find!!

The book hides a beautiful, and tragic at the same time, history, because Marwitz had to wait almost an entire life to return to publish a book of chess. When the time came, Marwitz could not be present during the official presentation, and he died a week later.

JAN HENDRIK MARWITZ, 1915-1991, by Jan van Reek.

"Marwitz was born on October 8, 1915, and died on December 6, 1991. He was headmaster of a primary school in Haarlem. When he became Inspector of Primary Education in Zwolle, he migrated with his family to Overijssel. He became the first and only youth member of the chess club Staunton in Groningen, and played in the main league for H.S.G. in Haarlem later. His interest in over-the-board play decreased, and he was only involved in the composition of endgame studies during the second half of his life. His interest in endgame studies was aroused by the' books of Herbstman, that were translated by Oskam in Dutch. Marwitz' first studies were published in the 1930s and he kept publishing new work. He was awarded the titles of International Judge and FIDE Master of Chess Compositions, and many prizes in international tourneys. In cooperation with C.J. de Feijter he wrote the book De eindspelstudie (The endgame study), that was published by De Tijdstroom in 1948. Many themes are treated in several chapters. The commercial production of books on the endgame study is hard. Our organization ARVES has a small publication fund, that supported the publication of his second book Eindspelkunst (Endgame art). Marwitz was very pleased, but he could not be present during the official presentation, and he died a week later. At the back of EG 104 can be found, how the book can be ordered. Marwitz started to compose, when the great themes were already known. Important aspects of his studies are a heavy chess battle and a great technique, as can be found in the works of Kasparyan, Kaminer and Fritz. 1. Jan H.

Marwitz' talent in showing impressive combinations from both sides in mate studies was great."
