It's Petersons with an 's'. And he drew with Tal in the 1964 Soviet championship. Anyone playing at that level - or drawing with Tal - is de facto a strong player.

<mate2900s> - <wow what was this a simul > Very funny. Despite the lack of a question mark, your post is roughly shaped like a question. Not a very clever one, however.
