Aleksandar Matanovic (1930-2023)

Post by Matt Mackenzie » Thu Aug 10, 2023 5:58 pm

One of the strongest post-war Yugoslav Grandmasters - and the oldest living holder of the title until his death - but best known for being the founder of Sahovski Informator (Chess Informant) Which alone guarantees him a major place in chess history.

The first volume was published in September 1966 (the month I was born!) and the latest - number 156 - came out a short while ago.

RIP.
