Ad multos annos!

It seems almost a lifetime has passed by when the first issue of the Šahovski Informator/Chess Informant appeared in the late autumn of 1966. In the meantime, the world changed a lot, but the mythical Serbian book somehow survived the Internet, and its last issue (No. 131) was published on April 2017.

居文君 (Jū Wénjūn) wasn’t even born yet when Robert James “Bobby” Fischer and Boris Vasilievich Spassky almost exclusively depended on the then Yugoslavian periodical book, and now she is one of the stars shining in the Šahovski Informator/Chess Informant’s last issue. All Photos: sohu.com.
