CHESS SCHOOL VOL.1
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.

CHESS SCHOOL VOL.2
A new tactics book from renowned Yugoslav coach GM Slobodan Mirkovic. Taken from examples he has used when training with fellows GMs Sedlak, Perunovic and Vukovic. Excellent material abounds over 16 chapters covering tactical themes and general technique in the endgame, such as bishop and pawn vs bishop, king attacks and bishops of opposite colour.
