 Vasily Smyslov
Vasily Vasilevich Smyslov was born on March 24, 1921, in Moscow.
Smyslov drew the games against his higher rated opponents (who were arranged in order by rating, so he knew who we were; I think there were perhaps 4 or 5 draws), and won the rest of the games.
Smyslov's approach to the game is very quiet and very passive, but this move only reinforces my notion that Smyslov probably was intentionally allowing draws on the top boards, as long as his opponents did nothing too obviously stupid.
