        I met Dr. Nedeljkovic at Lynn Babcock’s Houston chess club in the 1970s when he stopped by on a visit to the Houston Medical Center. He was accompanied by another Yugoslav I thought might be his “minder”. I remember the occasion particularly because I was starting out as an “A” player at the time, but after looking at my game for a few minutes he smiled and exclaimed “You are a master!” I had to say no, but I later did become a Senior Master, though I always remained an amateur in my approach to chess.

        Well, if it weren’t for the b-pawn, black would mate with Rc3. In addition, the other important thing to note is that white is threatening mate of his own, so these two facts lend immediate standing to
