DESCRIPTION

"100 DES MEILLEURS PROBLÈMES D'ÉCHECS"

VERY RARE, VERY SCARCE AND EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND

By E. Pradignat (1883)

 

Pradignat, E.: "100 des meilleurs Problèmes d'Échecs", composés par E. PRADIGNAT 1873-1883.

Paris and Londres, Chez Numa Preti and Chez Barthès et Lowell, (1883). Half Title page + Title page + 115 pages. Beautiful private quarter hardback binding with gold print on spine. 20 x 13,6 cm. In French.

 

Very good: Quite scratched binding on the edges of the spine. Very light smoky smell, mainly near the outer side, although to perceive it I had to get as close as possible (at a normal reading distance, for a normal nose like mine, it is totally imperceptible). Ex-libris (inside front cover) and small pencil annotation probably easy to erase (at bottom edge after page 115), both from former owner, Italian collector Mr. Pellegrini. The interior is clean, with very slight general browning in edges. All diagrams have a slight pencil notation (probably easy to erase), it seems that mentioning the squares in which both kings are. Honestly, the book is very pleasant to have in your hands, and is structurally in excellent condition.

 

L/N 2459, Kieler Schachkatalog 6965.

 

The French Composer of Chess Problems Emile Pradignat (1831-1912) created more than 1500 Problems. At that time, he was considered one of the most respected Composer of Chess Problems. The present edition is a collection of 100 of its own problems.

 

Very rare, very scarce and extremely hard to find.
