Henri Rinck (1870-1952) was a classic of artistic study, unrivalled in international study competitions of the1st third of this century.He began with studying combinational situations involving a fight of pieces, in particular catching of pieces. His studies are distinguished with a clear and harmonious play, a brilliant compositional technique, while introductory play often does not exist.From the 20ies, he is more preoccupied with the positional ideas (including dominations) of pawnless content with highly diverse but still limited material. His systematical studies of possibilities in pawnless positions have become a valuable income into the endgame theory; this effort has obtained a further progress only recently, with the help of computers!
