FIDE remembers former junior champion Bruno Parma
The Yugoslav-Slovene grandmaster died aged eighty-four after a career spanning competition and national-team coaching.
Source publication date:
FIDE published a tribute to Bruno Parma following the Yugoslav-Slovene grandmaster’s death aged eighty-four. Born in Ljubljana in 1941, he won the World Junior Championship in The Hague in 1961, two years after taking second place in the same competition.
Parma received the grandmaster title in 1963 and represented Yugoslavia at eight Chess Olympiads between 1962 and 1980. Those teams earned four silver medals and two bronze medals. His international tournament results included shared victory at Vršac and second place in San Juan.
After retiring from competitive chess in the late 1980s, Parma moved into coaching and national-team selection. He worked with the Yugoslav team and subsequently the first Slovenian national team. FIDE’s obituary recognised both his playing achievements and his contribution to later generations of players.
