 Svetozar Gligorić - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gligorić was a good student during his youth, with both academic and athletic successes that famously led to him being invited to represent his school at a birthday celebration for Prince Peter, later to become King Peter II of Yugoslavia.
He later recounted (to International Master David Levy, who chronicled his chess career in The Chess of Gligoric) his distress at attending this gala event wearing the beat-up clothes required by his family's impoverished condition.
His first tournament success came in 1938 when he won the championship of the Belgrade Chess Club; however World War II interrupted his chess progress for a time.

 Seagaard - Chess Reviews
As Gligoric himself asserts, he has maybe played more tournament games than any other grandmaster during his long career, battling it out with veterans Vidmar and Stahlberg in the 1940’s as well as youngsters Sakaev and Jenni in the 1990’s.
Gligoric’s career peaked in the 1950’s, a period in which Botvinnik’s “scientific” approach to the game reflected a more general societal belief in the pursuit of rationalism.
I suspect Gligoric simply has not had the time and/or motivation to revise the games according to developments in the 1980’s and 90’s with the exception of the 10 games in the collection played since 1989.

First, he brought into my living room some of the finest games played from all over the globe, then - even greater magic - he made the pieces dance across the sixtyfour squares of the chessboard, all the while revealing their intricate dance for the carefully crafted and executed plans of a master's mind.
The title of this book was taken from an interview Gligoric gave to the Editor of that first edition, referring "to chess as an art and a clean struggle of ideas, thereby trying to ignore the less dignified influence of psychology and personal conflicts."
Gligoric's pen is as crisp as ever, and time has not dimmed his chess eye.

 Chessville - Reviews - King’s Indian Defense – Mar del Plata Variation by Svetozar Gligoric, Reviewed by IM-CC ...
Gligoric, having played both sides of this defense, gives completely unbiased opinions, and as he put it himself, “I included it constantly in my repertoire for the next 25 years…” This intimate familiarity gives him a good foundation of knowledge and experience to write from.
Gligoric gives his own games extra special attention, and these comprise about a third of the illustrative games.
Gligoric’s annotations are thorough and excellent, giving the reader plenty of ideas and analysis to work with.

 ChessBase.com - Chess News - Svetozar Gligoric and the Botvinnik Plan
Grandmaster, many-time candidate for the world championship, theoretician and all-around good guy, Gligoric was a very important figure on the world chess scene from the early 1950s through the 1980s.
It is thus long overdue that I present a Gligoric victory, and so this week we'll take a look at a power performance in one of his opening specialties, the White side of the Nimzo-Indian Defense.
The Gligoric win is a great game (as is the Botvinnik-Capa game, despite its excessive fame), and the plan is an extremely important one that can be easily learned and utilized in a wide array of situations.

That said, it is not made entirely clear where the so-called ‘Mar del Plata Variation’ is supposed to start – it could be 7...Nc6 (though Gligoric was not the first to play this) or it could be 9 Ne1 Nd7 (which the great Yugoslav grandmaster can truly claim as his own).
The author’s foreword gives a clue as to how this might have happened; the book is based on his own lecture notes but has been enlarged for the English language book edition by hands other than his own.

I've double-checked the first 8 games with Fritz 8 and I've found practically no errors (one was where he mislabeled a mate in x moves when it was really a mate in x+2 moves).
The fact that he doesn't get caught up in baffling analyses means less errors, and the errors with the text-annotations are unfound.
If you're looking for a rich game collection which instructs rather than confuses, buy Svetozar Gligoric's masterpiece: "I Play Against Pieces".

In closing, I greatly enjoyed this book by Gligoric, the author has a deep love of chess and a level of understanding that few have ever attained.
