IM Slaven Pastar

   My name is Slaven Paštar, and I am an International master from Bosnia and Herzegovina, currently living in Mrkonjić Grad.  I got a degree from the Faculty of Organizational Science at Belgrade University. During my studies, I have acquired knowledge that helps me pass the material to students (subjects like pedagogy, sociology...).

Committed to chess since early childhood (four years old), I have participated in many tournaments and been multiple cadets and junior champion of the Republic of Srpska, as well as of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I also play many leagues on high boards in my country and Serbia, so I have good playing experience!

 I have 24 years of chess experience (four years as a coach). One of my students won third place In the Republic of Srpska in a competition for up to ten-year-olds. I offer personalized chess lessons, game analysis, and training games specialized for beginning and intermediate levels.

Besides chess, I used to play snooker and table tennis, and I am a big fan of comic books.
