  offramp: Born in 1917. Middle name Sergeevitch.
Unusual in that he is represented by 18 games over 18 years!
Nov-17-09  Red October: was he the founder of <Saigin Kick> ?

or maybe he acted in <Miss Saigin> ?

Sep-24-11  wordfunph: "Tal has a terrifying style. Soon even grandmasters will know of this."

- Vladimir Saigin (after losing to 17-year-old Tal in a qualifying match for the master title in 1954)

Source: Three Steps to Chess Mastery by Alexei Suetin

Dec-30-12  Benzol: Interesting that he and Tal died in the same year.
Jan-08-20  stanleys: A pic of him (in 1963) - https://i2.wp.com/belisrael.info/wp...

  Stonehenge: Good Knight Saigin or Goodnight Saigin can be used as a pun.

I'm too lazy a sod to go through his games.
