I've seen the name, but that is about it. I know nothing at all about him. He probably lost in any games that I looked at. It has been over 30 years since I have gone through Bobby Fischer's most memorable games, but I now see that games 12 and 30 were draws against Gligoric. But back in those days I was not too interested in draws. Well, I guess that holds true even today.

P.S. I looked at some of my other books to see if I could find any games played by Gligoric and I found no game in which Gligoric won. Besides the losses against Fischer, I found games were he lost against Tigran Petrosian and Hugh Alexander. However, I do have a game in which he got a draw against Tal.

Okay, I am sorry I offended you. Maybe I will find out more about Gligoric and admire him too.

My knowledge of GM's is based mostly on the very famous ones and those mentioned here. Some background reading suggests he was thoroughly nice chap. Incidentally, I drove past the cemetery with Bobby Fischer in yesterday, so the timing of GM memorials was apt
