It took him another four years to achieve the title of International Master, but he had to mature still more as a player to finally conquer the prestigious Grandmaster title, at a less tender age.
As a former pupil of the incredibly charismatic GM Dragoljub Velimirović, Slaviša has developed a keen sense of initiative; due to his unrelenting commitment to the game, his style gradually evolved into a potent mix of ambitious openings and enterprising middlegame play.
Former Yugoslav countries were hardly the perfect environment for a budding chess talent; often, he had to settle for the region’s limited selection of tournaments. However, in recent years he has been a highly successful performer in Serbian club competition. His thorough opening preparation, diligent study, and willingness to selflessly defer to others earned him a position as the women’s national team coach in 2010."
