Milan Matulovic was one of the sharpest Yugoslav grandmasters of his day and a long-serving international, a player who loved the initiative and a direct blow at the king.
The 1970 Olympiad in Siegen is remembered for the Fischer - Spassky duel on board one, but the race for medals was fierce: among sixty nations Yugoslavia took bronze, behind the USSR and Hungary. This win over Georgi Tringov, one of Bulgaria's leading grandmasters, is part of that Olympic battle, a board on which the team result was forged move by move.
