Chess Administrator, Writer
Milic retired from top-class play after 1967, and served as General Secretary of the Yugoslav Chess Federation. He was one of the group of pioneering originators of the Chess Informant publications. Beginning in 1966, Chess Informant systematized opening classifications, game information, and analysis to a much deeper level of sophistication, and produced volumes of annotated games from major events involving top players, using a languageless set of symbols for worldwide appeal. Their books sold well around the world, and played a vital role in the development and popularization of chess. The Chess Informant project has been called the most important in chess publication history.
Milic also worked with the New In Chess group of publications, producing articles and openings keybooks.

—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
