Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-07-13  whiteshark: "Another adjournment memory that always brings a smile to my face is a game that involved a player from Columbia, <Luis Hoyos Millan>. It was at the <Biel Chess Festival> in <1985>. Luis was a master player and had one of the most harrowingly complex adjourned positions that I can remember. The grandmasters Ljubomir Ljubojevic, Ulf Andersson and I were enchanted. Analysis carried on and on for hours. Somehow late at night we all ended up sitting on a park bench in Biel underneath a street lamp arguing on a well-used pocket chess set which plan was best. (The light- and darksquare borders had begun to fade, and it wasn't so easy keeping sight of the central squares.) Luis was overwhelmed by all the helping hands. All our efforts went for naught, however, for the simplest of reasons: the next day, <Luis overslept>."

- Yasser Seirawan

Does anyone have this game?

Nov-07-13  Karpova: <whiteshark>

In 1985, the Interzonal was held at Biel and Millan didn't participate: http://www.bielchessfestival.ch/upl...

Ljubojevic and Andersson did, so why should they help him with adjourned games?

Seirawan may remember one of the details wrongly.

Premium Chessgames Member		  perfidious: <Karpova>: There is an open held at Biel in conjunction with the invitational event (or, as in 1985 and 1993, interzonal).
Nov-07-13
Premium Chessgames Member		  perfidious: <Karpova>: Seirawan's narrative implies that Hoyos was assisted by the three GMs, including himself, and not that they were facing each other.

Here is the page for the Interzonal, which, as you state, does not include Hoyos: http://www.365chess.com/tournaments...

No reason Hoyos should have been in there, as he was no stronger a player than myself at the time and the South American zone has always had plenty of players of international standard.

Nov-07-13  Karpova: <perfidious>

Yes, you are right. Seirawan helped him.

Nov-07-13  Karpova: Here are the pgn files of the two games found by <Stonehenge> and two additional ones, retrieved from http://db.mychess.com/ but no game seems to fit the description as Millan is obviously busted in the final positions of both games he lost:

Nov-07-13  whiteshark: Thanks all for you combined efforts.

From the Biel archives I've found this:

Le Festival biennois profite de l’élan de l’interzonal pour accueillir <un total de 15 tournois et 900 joueurs>, dont <136 dans le seul Open des maîtres>, enlevé par l’Israélien Alon Greenfeld devant un peloton de joueurs renommés, comme les anciens vainqueurs du tournoi des Grands maîtres, Eric Lobron (3e) et Vlastimil Hort (6e)

Open des maîtres: 

1. Alon Greenfeld (ISR) 9 pts, 
2. Dragan Barlov (YUG) 8,5 pts, 
3.Eric Lobron (RFA) 8 pts. 
...
136 participants

Well, the question regarding <one of the most harrowingly complex adjourned positions that I can remember> remains open. ;)
