MIROSLAV STOSIC - FIRGA (1949-1975)

Twenty years has passed since the death of Miroslav Stosic. He was with us a very short time, but the trace he left is everlasting, not only as a great composer, but also as an extraordinary person. Although one of the youngest his maturity made him a spiritus agens of the Belgrade chess problemists circle.

He got fond of chess very young. In High school he played on the first board in the same team with future leading Yugoslav chess Grandmaster Ljubomir Ljubojevic. At the same time he got interested in chess problems and in 1967, he was the winner in solving competition of the magazine Sahovski glasnik (Zagreb). One year later he published his first problem, and since then he become an active member of the chess problemists section of the chess club "Partizan" (Beograd) as the most perspective in the group of young problemists animated by the excellent teacher Milivoj S. Nesic.

During about six years Miroslav published over 260 problems of all types. More than 120 were honored in chess composition tournaments, among them 20 with First prizes. Several problems on the cover of the booklet is only a small part of his creativity which was collected in the book Selected Problems (Beograd, 1979).
