An International Jubilee Grand Master Tournament was held at Bled, Yugoslavia in the Fall of 1961 in commemoration of Alexander Alekhine's victory there in 1931. Many strong players participated: Mikhail Tal, who had just lost his title decisively to Botvinnik 12.5-8.5 in the Spring, won.

I just stumbled on this thread. I have a book on the tournament that I haven't opened in years. Thanks for sharing this, Batgirl!

The tournament book should be well worth the perusal time.
