Nov-17-09    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.
