chess player, endgame theorist, and a composer of endgame studies. He lived in Switzerland for many years. He was named aFIDE International Master of Chess Composition in 1959, the first year the title was awarded.Chéron was the French champion three times (1926, 1927, and 1929) and played on the French Olympiad team in 1927. He is best known for his work in the theory of endgames, where he was most concerned with detailed proofs about theoretical endgame results. He composed hundreds of endgame studies. His life's work is the monumental four-volume "Lehr- und Handbuch der Endspiele", which was first published in French in 1952 and published in German in 1952–58 (and a second revised edition in 1962-70). It studies basic endgames and endgame studies, with material drawn from many sources including his own contributions. He also wrote "Traité complet d'échecs" and an updated version "Nouveau traité complet d'échecs", half of which was about the endgame.
