Aug-08-16  asianwarrior: Naranja drew with a former world champ? But why do you think Smyslov accepted the offer so early?
Apr-17-19  denopac: This is the game that Andy Soltis is referring to at the start of chapter four of <What It Takes to Become a Chess Master>:

<One day, after Naranja had drawn with a Soviet grandmaster who was much stronger than him, Fischer told the Filipino he stood much better when the game ended. Yes, I know, replied Naranja, but I couldn't see how to win. Fischer said that was no reason to agree to a draw. When you <know> you have an edge, you just keep playing, he said. <You had the two bishops. Just move around.>>

Apr-18-19  ChessHigherCat: Orange you glad you drew Smyslov?
