The first example of Ojanen's Queen's Gambits is a win against Eero Einar Book in 1946.
Eero Book was born on the 9th of February 1910 in Helsinki, Finland. He was awarded the IM title in 1950 (first in Finland) and an Emeritus GM title in 1984. He won the Finnish Championship six times from 1931 to 1963 and he was also joint Nordic Champion in 1947. An engineer by profession, he remained an amateur throughout his life but his performances in six Olympiads were notable. He qualified for the Saltsjobaden interzonal in 1948 where he finished 11th= with Svetozar Gligoric and Vasja Pirc out of 20. He played many of the world's top players, and had a plus record against Max Euwe and Miguel Najdorf.
The second example of Queen's Gambit is Ojanen's win against Emil Richter in 1949. In the same Trencianske Teplice tournament Richter won Laszlo Szabo with black pieces.
(Laszlo Szabo was born March 19th, 1917 in Budapest, Hungary. At the age of eighteen, he won the Hungarian Championship for the first of eight times. Before World War II, he worked in the foreign exchange department of a Budapest bank. During World War II, he was in a Hungarian Forced Labor unit where he was captured by the Russian army. He was a prisoner of war until after the end of World War II. Following the Second World War, he began to compete in major international events. In total, he represented Hungary at 11 Olympiads, playing first board on five occasions and delivering many medal-winning performances. In 1937, he took the team silver and individual silver medals, in 1952 an individual bronze, in 1956 a team bronze and in 1966, team bronze and individual silver. He contested three of the Candidates' tournaments of the 1950's, finishing joint third in 1956. He continued to play in tournaments and promote chess in his country until his death in 1998.)
