This is an estate find and shows some wear and loose pages and cover shown in the pictures. Several page5are still fused together from the printers.  It appears that all the pages are complete but the book is in poor condition.

• Profession: Working as a district judge and lawyer, Treybal approached chess as a dedicated amateur rather than a full-time professional.

• Chess Career: He was one of the leading Czechoslovak chess masters of the early-to-mid 20th century, famously competing against and defeating top international grandmasters like Alexander Alekhine.

• Tragic End: During the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia, he was arrested by the Gestapo in May 1941 on charges of illegal possession of firearms and was executed shortly thereafter.
