Mistrz Przepiórka by T. Lissowski, J. Konikowski and J. Moraś is a chess biography book about the life and work of Dawid Przepiórka, one of the most important Polish chess players of the first half of the 20th century. It combines biography with a structured account of his achievements as a player, composer and organiser.
About this book
This book follows Przepiórka’s place in Polish and international chess history, showing both his personal story and the wider context of his era. It presents him not only as a leading player, but also as a figure whose work helped shape the development of chess in Poland.
A major part of the publication is devoted to his chess composition. Przepiórka published around 160 chess problems, and the authors place this body of work in a clear historical framework.
Key achievements and legacy
The book also recalls his most important competitive results. These include team Olympic gold in Hamburg in 1930, Olympic silver in Prague in 1931, victory in Munich and winning the first Polish Championship in Warsaw in 1926. In 1928, he also became runner-up at the amateur world championship.
Another important thread is his organisational role. The publication covers his involvement in the creation of the Polish Chess Federation, where he later served as vice-president and patron. It also shows how his work influenced Polish chess life beyond the board.
Who it is for
This is a strong choice for readers interested in chess history, Polish chess and chess composition. It will also suit players, coaches and collectors of chess literature, as well as anyone looking for a thoughtful gift about a historic chess master.
