Great video of Botvinnik - Fischer 1962

 Botvinnik seems so happy after he saved the game and everybody is coming to shake hands with the champion.

because it was very lucky he saved the game and im not sure i think the saving move was discovered by someone else. 

but see how good Bobby Fischer is, even 10 years before he became WC even the champion is happy to have rescued a draw.

But maybe im mistaken the game,Bobby Fischer has only played one game against Botvinnik, am i right?

He should have been happy, he used an opening novelty on Fischer left over from his last(?) match with Smyslov that he never had a chance to use vs Smyslov (or anyone else I guess) and found out exactly what was wrong with it OTB in a matter of minutes

It's their only encounter and in My 60 Memorable Games Bobby claimed he had a win in the endgame which he did not prove instead after giving reams of analysis he then concluded "and White can't escape the oncoming avalanche of checks" or made some other meaningless statement with no more analysis to prove he had a win.

After the game people should have been congratulating Botvinniks seconds, back then overnite adjournments were common and Botvinnik probably had a few GMs (or more) to help him analyze all his adjourned games.

 Years later a teenager named Gary Kasparov demonstrated that Botvinnik had a forced draw in the endgame. Here's a link to some detailed analysis by GM Zaitsev on this famous endgame:
