Pushing Pawns Appears in Serbian
A Serbian translation of Pushing Pawns — POBUNA PIONA — is now available in paperback, complete with charming new cover art. The handsome edition is the work of an exciting new publishing house, Balans Knjige.
We're looking forward to a new crop of young fans in Serbia, where chess is taken seriously in the tradition of the immortal Svetozar Gligorić. Order your copy from the Balans website
