Hi guys, I've recently been advised to have a look at Smyslov's games, and his book 'In Search of Harmony', (currently awaiting amazon delivery). I'd be interested to know if anyone has a favourite game of his and what they liked about him.

 

Many thanks

Smyslov vs  Rudakovsky, 1945 (B83)  is considered to be a gold standard 101 introduction to Knight outposts and how to use them.  I've seen this game discussed on chess.com videos and a ton of position/strategy books . Love playing over it again and again ... there's something magical about how White's moves in this game  seem so simple and uncomplicated  once you know why they were played.

Is the two volume book of games by Smyslov and published in English by Moravian Press the same as Smyslov's 125 Selected Games?
I love this player!!!
