I don't know where you learned that Vladimir Vuković is a Serbian chess writer.
This is not correct information, so please correct it.
Vladimir Vuković was born into a Jewish family in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, and died in Zagreb in 1975.
Although he did not have the formal title of grandmaster, due to his influence on generations of chess players, he is certainly the most significant chess figure in Croatia.
For many years, he edited the "Chess Herald" and wrote several chess books that were translated into several world languages.

I corrected the information about Vladimir Vuković and hope its correct now. I thought I got the error from the linked Wikipedia page, but I cannot find it there. So, I must have confused it with some other web site. Thanks for the hints towards the correction.

@Tadija7:
I think, if you want to be precise, he was born in 1898 in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in the territory of what is now Croatia. He lived in Yugoslavia, where the capital was Belgrade, and died there in 1975. He never saw an independent Croatia. So probably more accurate would be Austro-Hungarian, Yugoslavian (now Croatia).

@m168 Oh no, you almost joined that small club of players who applied the Vukovic pattern with a promotion. Your opponent is sooo mean for giving up so early :-(

@matedepeao Thanks for your good feedback. I am trying to get the best out of it - for me in terms of learning and for everyone else as I see no particular reason to keep these things just for myself.
