  Fusilli: <Shams> Yes. Copying it here for simplicity:

<Resignation Trap: In this tournament, Jan Hein Donner finished first with a devastating score of 11/13. The World Champion Petrosian ended up in a tie for second place with Larry Melvyn Evans , both scoring 10.

Petrosian wrote "I was not even especially upset after my draw with the 65-year-old Calapso, a player who, frankly speaking, is not of international standard."

"'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....">

  perfidious: Janosevic sure showed this 'outsider', mere weeks after taking off Fischer.

In light of his remarks, while I have never read anything which suggests Janosevic gloated after Janosevic vs Fischer, 1967, one wonders whether that happened. In any case, he got his comeuppance after needling Petrosian.
