	Milan Vukcevich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vukcevich decided on a career in science rather than chess, and in the year he moved to the United States he entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
		Vukcevich is better known as an author of chess problems than as a player, however, being the first American resident to be awarded the title of International Composition Grandmaster by FIDE.
		In 1981 he published Chess by Milan: Problems and Games of Dr. Milan R. Vukcevich and in 1998 was inducted into the US Chess Hall of Fame, becoming only the second person (after Sam Loyd) to be primarily inducted for their achievements in problem composition.

		The harmony stemming from switching of the defensive motifs from one side of the BK to the other side, the use of the WBb8/WSe7 battery, the inclusion of an additional mate change, and the good construction are the ingredients of a memorable composition.
		A new twist into the LLP form of cyclic permutations (as classified by Milan Velimirovic) executed with grace and lightness.
		The complex mate interchange between the phases, complemented by the Grimshaw on c5, is refreshing and the problem can stand alongside other problems of its class.

	Mystery of Peter Winston
		Elo was still "protesting." FIDE President Max Euwe then arranged a meeting of the three E's (Euwe, Edmondson, Elo) in Wisconsin to review each disputed rating.
		There were also some others involved who were not in my Futurities whose ratings were too low, such as Milan Vukcevich and Jack Peters.
		Elo followed a practice of giving US players the lower of their initial FIDE performance or their USCF rating, but FIDE rules required him to assign their first FIDE performance.

	Chess match commentary
		In my opinion the explanatory work by team consultants/analysts I. Krush, E.Bacrot, F. Felecan,E.Pahtz and moderator King is dead center reality.
		However, the crack analytical team of grandmaster Paul Benko (New York), problem grandmaster Milan Vukcevich (Cleveland) and San Francisco problemist Robert E. Burger ("Burgermeister") should be asked to prepare all endgames for the team right now as they are developing.
		The world team will have scant time to post its all-important four move recommendations when delicate endgames are involved.
