Alberto Entralgo Cancio, Marti Ajedrecista, Editorial La Verdad, La Habana, ca 1963. 15 pages. Size 14,7 x 11,1 cm. In Spanish.
The book looks like a small rarity and is about José Martí (chess player Marti).
From the website: https://blog.soulidays.com/close-ups/chess-in-cuba about chess in Cuba:
José Martí (1853-1895), referred to as the “Apostle of Cuban Independence” is considered by Rubén Darío as “The Master”, by Alfonso Reyes as “The Supreme Literary Man”, by Gabriela Mistral as “the purest man of the human race” and Ezequiel Martínez Estrada considered him as, not only “a hero”, but also “a saint, wise man and martyr.”
José Martí learnt chess, presumably, in his childhood and later practised it during his stay in Spain. A definite evidence of his passion for chess was documented during his stay in Mexico, where he arrived in 1875 and had a chance to meet other prominent Cubans. Among them there was Andrés Clemente Vázquez, a famous Cuban chess player, who together with Marqués Sterling, were close friends of José Martí, and apart from literary circles they used to meet in game rooms, where they played chess.
Condition - Still Good: signature on the 3rd page (by the author?), cover is soiled and a little torn, paper yellowed.
