The description said,
Cronica de ajedrez : revista mensual de ajedrez. Haban, Cuba : [s.n.], 1911 May-October. Chess Magazine. 24 cm. 146pp. Bound in marbled covers, broken and deformed; however, the content is unharmed and not bend. (6) numbers: Año I, Num. I; May,1911 - Año I, Num. 6; October, 1911. Each number conserves their original paper wraps. Damp stain in the lower inner section, otherwise in very good condition. Ilustrated with drawings, photographs and tables.
The seller added,
About the magazines. According to Gino Di Felice (Chess Periodicals: An Annotated International Bibliography, 1836-2008. Macfarland: USA, 2010) there´s no more known published numbers of this magazine. He cites Kononklije Bibliotheek as a public library that owns the 6 numbers, along with the Miami University (Worldcat) are the only public libraries that have the magazines. Very rare and unique chess magazine.
My copy of Di Felice's book (p.69) says,
752. Crónica de Ajedrez : Revista Mensual de Ajedrez (1911–?) No.1 (May 1911)–?. Monthly. Publisher [s.n.]. La Habana. Cuba. 24 cm. Magazine. General. Spanish. Source KB. Availability Koninklijke Bibliotheek—No.1 (May 1911)–no.6 (Oct 1911), call number 60 A 63.
I'm not sure where the seller's 'Miami University (Worldcat)' reference is from and will investigate further as soon as I can.
