  Honza Cervenka: Nikola Mitkov is a Macedonian GM born in 1971.
Dec-01-05  lopium: Can we have his bio? In a game it shows that the young Mitkov beat the young Kramnik.... Thanksxz.

  offramp: He was born in that glorious country, just above Greece, which gave the colossal name of Alexander to the world.
Jan-21-06  szunzein: Alexandre was a warrior; I don't see any greatness in that anymore
Mar-18-06  doubled: GM Mitkov is ranked in the top 20 of U.S. chess players and he lives in Chicago.
Apr-04-07  syracrophy: Nikola Mitkov is at the Mexican Open by now. He´s at board one and yesterday he won his first round. Other GMs that I have also seen playing: Lazaro Bruzon, Jose Luis Gonzales, Alonso Zapata and Gilberto Hernandez, among other strong IMs and NMs, like IM Manuel Leon Hoyos and NM Florentino Garmendez .

Im just waiting to see a great clash between GMs!

Apr-04-07  Prugno: I played against GM Nikola Mitkov once and saw him in action at several tournaments (he often played in Italy before moving to the US), and was always impressed by his great tactical ability and feeling for the initiative (for instance his win in 2000 against Rublevsky, not present in this database as far as I can see, is really wonderful).

Now I discover that, among his many achievements, he even beat Kramnik in a junior event... somehow I'm not too surprised. I wonder how far such a great talent could have gone with proper "Russian school" coaching as a young player.
