Cenek Kottnauer (24 February 1910 – 14 February 1996) was a Czech (and later British) chess player, International Master and International Arbiter. One of the best Czech players in the 40s and early 50s. In 1953, he emigrated to the United Kingdom. The reasons, however, were not political, but a woman... That is why the communist regime did not rage as much as in other cases.

Condition - Good: binding a bit worn, corners bumped.
