"'How did you contrive only to draw with him?' exclaimed Dragoljub Janosevic . 'I'll show you how to play against outsiders.'" "A day later the Calapso Remo vs Janosevic, 1967 encounter took place. By the 20th move Black had already lost his entire queenside, and soon the Yugoslav grandmaster had to admit defeat...."
