Nederlandsch-Indische Schaakbond: Ter herinnering aan het 10-jarig bestaan van den Ned. Ind. Schaakbond, April 1915–April 1925 is a commemorative volume published in 1925 to mark the tenth anniversary of the Nederlandsch-Indische Schaakbond, the Dutch East Indies Chess Federation. The book documents the founding of the federation in 1915 and traces its development over its first decade, highlighting the growth of organized chess across Java and other parts of the Dutch East Indies. It includes historical notes on the establishment of local clubs, reports on tournaments and matches, selected annotated games, problem compositions, and photographs of prominent players and officials active during the period.

Beyond recording results and games, the volume reflects the social and cultural role of chess within the colonial community, showing how the federation fostered connections between clubs in cities such as Batavia, Soerabaja, and Semarang. It serves both as a historical record and as a celebratory tribute to the players, organizers, and patrons who contributed to the institutionalization of chess in the Dutch East Indies between 1915 and 1925.
