Gligoric is one of my favourite players. I used to have a collection of his games, but lent it a friend and didnt get it back. Not complaining though cause he has been very generous in giving me many good books on chess over the years. When it was his day, Gligoric could beat the very best of his contemporaries. Great player and underated.
