112 Seiten, gebunden, Thinkers Publishing, 1. Auflage 2026
The Golden Age of Yugoslav Chess (1919-1990) explores one of the richest and most influential eras in chess history, tracing the rise of Yugoslavia as a global chess powerhouse across seven remarkable decades. From the formation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia after the First World War to the final years before the country’s dissolution, this book captures the players, tournaments, ideas, and cultural forces that shaped an unforgettable chess tradition.
Featuring legendary grandmasters such as Vidmar, Gligorić, Ljubojević, Matanovic, Velimirović, and countless others, the book highlights Yugoslavia’s unique contribution to chess theory, attacking play, and international competition. Readers are taken inside iconic events like the legendary Bled tournaments, the celebrated ”Tournament of Peace,“ and the famous Chess Olympiads hosted on Yugoslav soil, where East and West met over the chessboard during the Cold War era.
Beyond the games themselves, The Golden Age of Yugoslav Chess paints a vivid portrait of a vibrant chess culture fueled by clubs, publications, cafés, and passionate communities. Richly illustrated with historical photographs, rare documents, annotations, and memorable games, the book reveals how Yugoslavia became a bridge between chess schools and a breeding ground for creativity and fighting spirit.
More than a historical account, this is a tribute to a generation that helped define modern chess - a golden age whose influence still resonates today.
