DESCRIPTION

Allen, Edgar William (1884-1950) and Eric Manfred Hassberg,  To Alain White, Published Overbrook Press, Stamford, 1945, 1st edition, including Note of Thanks from Alain White in two page.

iii+77 pages with frontispiece portrait with tissue guard, diagrams, index and appendix. Quarto (10 1/4" x 7 1/2") bound in original publisher's brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine. (Bibliotheca van der Linde-Niemeijeriana: 2889; Betts: 33-86) First edition limited to 300 copies.

The first section consists of an essay on White's work as composer by E W Allen, with twenty examples.

This part includes 130 especially contributed problems by 87 composers (78 two-movers, 40 three-movers, 12 others). Solutions and index of composers are listed. Alain C. White was a well know chess problem composer but he was also the composer's best friend with his publishing of the Famed Christmas series books from 1905 through 1936 as well as starting the Good Companion Club in the 1920 where all the top composers were members. As a tribute many of the top composers put together this book to Alain White by making special composed problems.
