Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Rev. E(dward) E(arnest) Cunnington: Selected Chess Endings. London, 1903. George Routledge & Sons Limited. VIII. 88 p. with chess diagrams. First edition. Publisher's full cloth binding. Name inscription on the first flyleaf: "J. E. Ditter - April 23, 1919 - 44 Ranmoor & Cliffed Sheffield."… There is a small hole on the back cover (shrapnel mark), which has also made tiny hole in some of the pages. Rev. Cunnington's rarest chess book. Scarce. The Reverend E E Cunnington while a member of Bridgnorth Chess Club produced a series of chess books published from 1893 onwards which explained the game in a style that could be widely understood by everyman. This gifted teacher made the game accessible to the people rather than to an intellectual elite. Selected Chess Endings is not intended to be a comprehensive theoretical manual a la Dvoretsky s Endgame Manual; nor is it about strategic endgames. It displays basic methods in (mostly) practical endgame positions, and sprinkles in some interesting studies and actual master practice from before the year 1903. The main audience for this book was and still is the amateur club player, especially ones who find themselves struggling to win or draw the positions they re supposed to. ( O,O ) /)__) , .
