The Sinquefield Chess Generation: Young Guns at Work

The idea was to write about the best players in the USA born at the turn of the century. These players grew and blossomed thanks to the continuous and generous support by the world’s biggest chess patron Rex Sinquefield and the Saint Louis Chess Club. 

Their success changed the scenery of American chess, set new standards and propelled the country as the promised land for new talents. Grandmaster Alex Colovic will be your guide in his fascinating journey with the US’s Young Chess Guns!

Alex Colovic was born in Skopje 1976, now the capital of North Macedonia. He became a grandmaster in 2013 and owns a BA in English language and literature. He participated in more than 200 international chess events and won numerous first prizes. In his first attempt as coach and captain, he won the Italian Women Championship in 2017 with his team ‘Caissa Italia Pentole Agnelli’, and not much later he guided the Macedonian women’s team to a historical high in the European Team Championship. In 2019 he was elected President of the Association of Chess Professionals. This is his first book for Thinkers Publishing.
