A remarkable production from Montenegro. 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.

This is an interesting and original work that gives an insight in the way chess was and is taught in the former chess powerhouse that Yugoslavia was and Serbia is. One may almost consider it a collector's item as well judging from the modest print-run (1,200 copies).

Be warned of sloppy English and a less-than-perfect quality of the diagrams.
