  perfidious: Only recall seeing Wes once during my playing days, and we met during that event, at the Toronto International in July 1984. Believe the game was played in the eighth round; I was Black in a 5....gxf6 Caro-Kann. He never managed to get an edge and proposed a draw in a heavy piece ending.
