Jan-09-12		GrahamClayton: According to contemporary reports, Bisguier was very nervous, as it became clear that he was going to defeat his chess idol.

Jan-10-12		Caissanist: Bisguier wrote in his obituary for Keres that "he was not particularly proud of the game." His recollection that he won by not doing very much, leaving it to Keres to try to win with black; Keres took a lot of chances, ran short of time, and was unable to hold the draw.

Jan-10-12		GrahamClayton: <Caissanist>, Here is Bisguier's comment about the game from "The Art of Bisguier - Selected Games 1961-2003" "I resolved never again to play so cautiously against him. So what if he out combined me at Tallin 1971, and went on to win the tournament? I had the satisfaction of letting Keres show me what he could do." BTW, this loss was Keres' only defeat in the Bled tournament.

Jan-10-12		Penguincw: Even after winning this game, he still has a minus record against Keres. At least it's nice to ink out at least one win.

Apr-26-12		Caissanist: Bisguier's comments and annotations for this game (from the aforementioned book) are online at Chesscafe: http://www.chesscafe.com/text/skitt... .
