Chess School - Slobodan Mirkovic

Slobodan Mirkovic is a well-respected Serbian chess teacher. Amongst his pupils are GM's Nikola Sedlak, Milos Perunovic and Bojan Vuckovic. For this book - indeed a series as there is already a second volume - he collected and classified his numerous teaching materials. The reader is offered many dozens of examples from GM practice with a task and a solution. The book consists of three parts:

Part 1: pawn endings

Part 2: miraculous world of combinations

Part 3: strategic motives

The author firstly explains the way he thinks one has to study chess. He has devised his own way to study pawn endings (part 1) and his own classifications of combinations (part 2). Also the strategic motives that he identifies bear his strong opinion.

Be warned of sloppy English.
