Although the tournament is underway, I feel it is appropriate to post the actual inspiration for this match. I set the rating parameters between 1000 and 1700 but it accepted me in the field when my daily is currently over 1700. So, of course I saw the game and knew of Botvinnik's ability to work through this match. Now, I want you to see the game as well. Any comments or insights, analysis or whatever can be posted.
It will be difficult for any player's to match the moves here, but the ideas are well worth discussion. For example, why would Botvinnik play 56.Qg4+ when he could simply take Black's pawn with the direct Qxe6 ?
