"entrainement" dans le module partie.} 1. Nf3 {Le joueur ayant les blancs est
inconnu des bases de données mais il était soit un salarié du secteur
d'électricité, soit encore un étudiant dans ce domaine  comme Botvinnik qui a
obtenu son diplome d'ingénieur deux ans plus tard.} Nf6 {On reprochait souvent
au futur Champion du Monde son style ennuyeux et scientifique mais dans cette
partie il va démontrer que c'était aussi un joueur universel.  Il poursuivait
ses études au début des années 30 à l'institut industriel et il représentait
son école dans cxette compétition. Quelques années plus tard, il va réussir à
soutenir sa thèse ayant pour objet " Influence des variations du courant

normal move would be c7-c5. After the move played, we have reached by
transposition of moves the Slav Defence to the Queen's Gambit: 1,d4 d5 2.c4 c6
3.Nf3 Nf6. Even from this position we can see that this defence is
theoretically not fully correct. The c-belongs on c5. (Tarrasch)   Der
Normalzug wäre c7-c5. Nach dem geschehenen Zuge ist mit Zugumstellung die
tschechische Verteidigung des Damengambits erreicht: 1,d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6.
Auch aus dieser Feststellung kann man ersehen, daß diese Verteidigung
theoretisch nicht völlig korrekt ist. der c-Bauer gehört eben nach c5. 
(Tarrasch)} 4. e3 {Of course this modest move can be played.. Dieser
zurückhaltende Zug kann natürlich ganz gut geschehen.} ({However the usual
move  Stärker ist jedoch der gebräuchliche Zug} 4. Nc3 {is stronger, after
which Black has nothing better than giving up the centre with , auf den
Schwarz nichts Besseres hat, als mit} dxc4 {and White threatens to occupy it
later with advantage. das Zentrum aufzugeben, das Weiß später vorteilhaft zu
besetzen droht.} ({Because Denn} 4... Bf5 {would not be good, because after
wäre nicht gut, weil Weiß nach} 5. cxd5 cxd5 6. Qb3 {White will win the d5- or
the b7-pawn. (Tarrasch) den Bauern d5 oder b7 gewinnt. (Tarrasch)})) 4... e6 {
Defending with the two moves c6 and e6 is always unsatisfactory, because
Black's queenside pieces are hindered. Die Verteidigung mit den beiden
Sperrzügen c6 und e6 ist immer unbefriedigend, weil die schwarzen Damenfiguren
behindert sind.} ({e2-e3 was a weakening move which Black should meet smartly
with  Den schwächenden Zug e2-e3 konnte und sollte Schwarz dreist mit} 4... Bf5
{since then the attack Qb3 would be less effective after the exchange of pawns.
(Tarrasch) beantworten, da dann der Angriff Db3 nach dem Bauerntausch weniger
wirksam wäre. (Tarrasch)}) 5. Bd3 dxc4 {With this move and the one which
follows, the opening transposes to the Queen's Gambit Accepted, which is known
to be unsatisfactory for Black, because with d5xc4 he firstly surrenders the
centre and secondly develops his opponent's king's bishop, thus making him the
present of a tempo. (Tarrasch)   This has all resulted in a Queen's Gambit
Accepted. (Botvinnik 1936)   Mit diesem und dem folgenden Zuge geht die
Eröffnung in das angenommene Damengambit über, das bekanntlich für den
Nachziehenden kein befriedigendes Spiel ergibt, weil er mit d5xc4 erstens das
Zentrum aufgibt und zweitens den weißen Königsläufer entwickelt, dem Gegner
also ein Tempo schenkt. (Tarrasch)   Im Ergebnis entstand das angenommene
Damengambit. (Botvinnik 1936)} 6. Bxc4 c5 {The position could have arisen from
a Queen's Gambit Accepted as follows: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dc 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 e6 5.Bc4:
c5. One can see that in this position Black is a tempo behind; in the present
game, he lost it by moving his c-pawn twice and in the QGA by the move d5xc4,
by which the only thing that Black develops is White's king's bishop. 
(Tarrasch)   Die Stellung könnte sich folgendermaßen aus dem angenommenen
Damengambit entwickelt haben: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dc 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 e6 5.Bc4: c5. Man
sieht, daß Schwarz in dieser Stellung um ein Tempo zurück ist; dieses hat er
in der vorliegenden Partie durch die doppelte Bewegung des c-Bauern verloren,
beim angenommenen Damengambit durch den Zug d5xc4, mit dem Schwarz nichts
entwickelt als den weißen Königsläufer. (Tarrasch)} 7. O-O Nc6 {For no good
reason Black avoids the move a7-a6: if White replies to it with a2-a4, in
order to prevent  b7-b5 , that weakens his queenside; on the other hand, Black
can make use of the threat of b7-b5 operieren. (Botvinnik 1936)   As White, I
was faithful for decades to this Rubinstein-style treatment of the position,
even in the World Championship match of 1963. (Botvinnik 1984)   Unbegründet
vermeidet Schwarz den Zug a7-a6: spielt Weiß darauf, um b7-b5 zu verhindern,
a2-a4, wird sein Damenflügel geschwächt; anderenfalls allerdings kann Schwarz
mit der Drohung b7-b5 operieren. (Botvinnik 1936)   Ich hielt als Weißer an
dieser Rubinstein-Behandlung der Stellung über Jahrzehnte fest, sogar im
Weltmeisterschaftswettkampf 1963. (Botvinnik 1984)} 8. Qe2 {A well-known
manoeuvre: White gives up the pawn, which he will win back advantageously by
Rd1. (Tarrasch)   A very important move. (Botvinnik 1936) Ein bekanntes
Manöver: Weiß gibt den Bauern auf, um ihn durch Rd1 vorteilhaft
zurückzugewinnen. (Tarrasch)   Ein sehr wichtiger Zug. (Botvinnik 1936)} ({The
immediate Schwächer ist sofort} 8. Nc3 {is weaker, because things become
uncomfortable for White after: da es nach} Be7 {für Weiß bereits unbequem wird:
} 9. Qe2 cxd4 10. Rd1 e5 {usw. (Botvinnik 1936) etc. (Botvinnik 1936)}) 8...
cxd4 {This is the reason why it is not good to exchange the pawn and by doing
so set free White's queen's bishop. Black should simply continue with his
development, and then freeing the queen's bishop would soon become a serious
problem for White. (Tarrasch)   Gives White an isolated pawn. (Botvinnik 1936)
Aus diesem Grunde ist es nicht gut, den Bauern zu tauschen und dadurch den
weißen Damenläufer zu befreien. Schwarz sollte einfach seine Entwicklung
fortsetzen, dann würde die Befreiung des Damenläufers für Weiß bald ein
schwieriges Problem bilden. (Tarrasch)   Verschafft Weiß einen isolierten
Bauern. (Botvinnik 1936)} 9. Rd1 Be7 10. exd4 {It is incomprehensible that
Botvinnik - and everyone else, since the position has already occurred
innumerable times - accepts an isolated pawn here, something which one usually
fears almost as much a knight fork on the king and queen! But, joking apart,
the teaching about how harmful the isolated queen's pawn is is one of the
numerous wrong-headed ideas which this chess magazine was founded in order to
contest. (Tarrasch) Unbegreiflich, daß Botwinnik - und alle Welt, denn die
Stellung ist schon unzählige Mal vorgekommen - sich hier einen isolierten
Bauern macht, den man doch sonst beinahe so fürchtet wie einen Doppelangriff
des Springers auf König und Dame! Aber Scherz beiseite: die Lehre von der
Schädlichkeit des isolierten Damenbauern ist eine von den zahlreichen
Irrlehren, zu deren Bekämpfung ja diese Schachzeitung gegründet worden ist. 
(Tarrasch)} O-O 11. Nc3 Nb4 {To prevent the advance of the isolated pawn which
always threatens danger. The whole system of play against the IQP comes from
Steinitz, who had developed it to a fine art and frequently employed it in his
World Championship match against Zukertort, and almost always successfully.
The system includes (as well as Nd5) the moves Qa5 or Qb6, Rd8, Bc8-d7-d8 and
Ra8-c8. (Tarrasch)   This manoeuvre is necesary for Black to secure control
over the d5-square. Otherwise White gets rid of his only weakness by the move
d4-d5 and he opens up the position, which is to his advantage since he is the
better developed side. (Botvinnik 1936)   Um das Vorgehen des isolierten
Bauern, das immer gefahrdrohend ist, zu verhindern. Das ganze System des
Spiels auf den isolierten Damenbauern rührt von Steinitz her, der es, zu einem
sehr feinen System ausgebaut, in seinem Weltmeisterschaftskampf gegen
Zukertort öfters und fast immer erfolgreich anwandte. Es gehören dazu (neben
Nd5) noch die Züge Qa5 oder Qb6, Rd8, Bc8-d7-d8 und Ra8-c8. (Tarrasch)   Ein
obligatorisches Manöver, um Schwarz die Herrschaft über den Punkt d5 zu
sichern. Anderenfalls entledigt sich Weiß seiner einzigen Schwäche durch den
Zug d4-d5 und öffnet die Stellung, was für ihn vorteilhaft ist, da er die
besser entwickelte Seite ist. (Botvinnik 1936)} 12. Ne5 Nbd5 ({The correct
move here is Richtig ist jetzt} 12... Bd7 {, since Black equalises after , da
Schwarz nach} 13. d5 exd5 14. Nxd5 Nbxd5 15. Bxd5 Nxd5 16. Rxd5 Bg4 17. Qc4

not so aggressive, but totally satisfactory. (Tarrasch) Bescheiden und weniger
aggressiv, aber völlig genügend wäre die Entwicklung des Läufers nach e3. 
(Tarrasch)} (13. Qf3 {to attack the d5-square again is worth considering. But

Championships in Moscow 1931, there is not a single one which would have
pleased me, above all not a single one in the grand manner. I am always happy
to be amazed, but here I am only wonder... Botvinnik is 22 years old. At that
age a new chess genius is in the habit of showing off the wonderful things he
can do in games of almost explosive power. Compare, e.g., the cases of
Charousek or Pillsbury or Capablanca, not to speak of Morphy. In Botvinnik I
can see no signs of storm and stress; everything is routine, everything can be
explained, everything worthy of respect, everything - is old. It is at least
premature to compare him to the greatest players in the world. But perhaps he
is very strong, yet I miss the spark of genius in his games - except for the
first one which I saw years ago. (Tarrasch)   Black resigned because after 46..
.Kd5 47.Kg6 he was one tempo short in the promoting of his pawn. (Botvinnik

Damenflügel wendet, bekommt Weiß in 8 Zügen eine Dame, während Schwarz dazu 10
Züge braucht. - Eine hübsche und lehrreiche Partie, und eine der sehr wenigen
hübschen und interessanten Partien, die ich vom jetzigen Champion
Sowjet-Rußlands kenne. Unter den sämtlichen Partien, die er in dem russischen
Nationalturnier zu Moskau 1931 gespielt hat, ist nicht eine einzige, die mir
gefallen hätte, vor allem keine in großem Stil. Ich freue mich, wenn ich
bewundern kann, aber hier kann ich mich nur wundern. Botwinnik ist 22 Jahre
alt. In diesem Alter pflegt ein neues Schachgenie mit fast explosiver Gewalt
verblüffende Proben seines Könnens auszustreuen; man vergleiche z.B. die Fälle
Charousek oder Pillsbury oder Capablanca, von Morphy schon gar nicht zu reden.
Bei Botwinnik finde ich nichts von Sturm und Drang; alles routiniert, alles
abgeklärt, alles achtenswert, alles - alt. Ihn mit den stärksten Spielern der
Welt zu vergleichen, ist zum mindesten verfrüht. Doch vielleicht ist er sehr
stark; aber den Funken des Genies vermisse ich in seinen Partien, - mit
Ausnahme der ersten, die ich vor Jahren zu Gesicht bekommen habe. (Tarrasch)  
Schwarz gab auf, weil ihm nach 46...Kd5 47.Kg6 ein Tempo zur Umwandlung des
Bauern fehlt. (Botvinnik 1936)} 1-0

dem scheußlichen Springerzuge gleicht sich das Spiel rasch aus, weil Schwarz
nun seine um zwei Züge rückständige Entwicklung rasch nachholen kann.

Monographie "Die Sizilianische Partie"), der diesen Zug für den stärksten hält.

Gegner. (Tarrasch)  Der Springer drohte, auf c4 eine ausgezeichnete Stellung
einzunehmen, freilich durfte er aber nicht abgetauscht werden, womit die
Entwicklung des Gegners befördert wird. (Botvinnik 1936)} ({Besser ging der
Springer wieder nach d4 zurück(!)} 11. Nd4 {, etwa mit der Folge} Nc4 12. Nxe6

merkwürdig, daß in genau derselben fehlerhaften Art das Spiel des Weißen schon
sehr oft bis zu diesem Punkte und noch weiter von Meistern behandelt worden

aus der Eröffnung geholt haben. (Tarrasch)  Das Eröffnungsstadium ist beendet

Spiel mit weniger Schwierigkeiten verbunden, als das von Weiß. (Botvinnik 1936)

der Zug Sd5 von Weiß unangenehm, da er den Abtausch der Damen erzwingen würde.

geschehen sollte, aus zwei Gründen: erstens ist es meist nicht gut, die Dame
in der Linie eines feindlichen Turmes zu lassen, und wenn noch so viele Steine
zwischen beiden stehen; und zweitens war der Bauer a7 nicht ganz einfach zu
decken. (Tarrasch)  Nach diesem passiven Zug gerät Weiß auf die Bahn
ernsthafter Verwicklungen, auf der er sich schnell verirrt. Das Einfachste war
15.Df2, was den Schwarzen durch die Bedrohung von a7 von seinen Plänen ablenkt.

folgt der Doppelangriff e4-e5. Aber indirekt läßt sich der Bauer decken,
nämlich durch} Nd7 {Schlägt dann der Läufer den Bauern,} 16. Bxa7 {, so wird
er durch} b6 {abgesperrt und erobert. Diese Absperrung des Läufers ist ein
sehr alltägliches Ereignis, nur ist für gewöhnlich der absperrende Bauer durch
einen Bauern gedeckt anstatt durch einen Springer. (Tarrasch)}) 15... e5 {
Hierauf war es natürlich am einfachsten, mit fe de Df2 fortzufahren, was zum
Ausgleich führte. Vor allem war damit der sehr gefährliche Läufer g7
ausgeschaltet. Aber dem Gegner durch f4xe5 von dem unangenehmen Sperrstein d6
zu befreien, lag nicht im Interesse des Weißen. Deshalb war es noch stärker,
sofort Df2 zu ziehen und auf Sd7 mit f4-f5 den Läufer ebenfalls eingeschränkt
zu halten. (Tarrasch)  Hätte Weiß den Gedanken hinter diesem Zug verstanden,
so würde er hier einfach mit 16.fxe5 und danach 17.Df2 fortsetzen, womit er
sich Ausgleich verschafft haben würde. (Botvinnik 1936)} 16. b3 {Hierauf folgt
eine höchst peinliche Überraschung. (Tarrasch)} ({Auf} 16. Qf2 {hätte Schwarz

wegzuziehen, stellt Schwarz einen Bauern ein! Ein solcher Zug verspricht für
Botwinniks Zukunft alles Mögliche! Die wunderbare und höchst verwickelte
Kombination ist in allen Varianten vollkommen korrekt, sonst wäre sie eben
nicht genial, sondern innerlich unwahr. (Tarrasch)   "!!" Dieses Opfer ist
offenbar in allen Varianten vollkommen korrekt. Jetzt droht d5-d4. (Botvinnik

d5 3. exd5 {Together with the following move, the most common attack against
the Caro-Kann Defence. (Tarrasch)  Two or three years ago the Caro-Kann was
reckoned to be the safest defence with which to obtain a draw. White normally
continued 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4, dissolving the tension in the centre and setting
the game on peaceful paths. The Caro-Kann owes its reputation to Capablanca,
who perfected his drawing technique with Black in the aforementioned variation.
As far as the variation 3. cxd5 exd5 4.Bd3 Nf6 5.Bf4 Nc6 6.c3 Bg4 is concerned,
he even evaluated it as favourable to Black, who can achieve a pawn advance on
the queenside in the middlegame. It is interesting to point out that Flohr has
frequently carried out successfully this attack, and also along similar lines
in the Queen's Gambit.  However the situation has changed since last year. The
Moscow player Panov introduced a new attack, which has even been named after
him. The Panov Variation has become in the hands of the present World Champion
Alekhine an extremely dangerous weapon and not till a few months before the
start of this match were effective antidotes found for Black. In the present
game White tries to strengthen the Panov System once more. (Botvinnik) In
Verbindung mit dem folgenden Zuge der jetzt gebräuchlichste Angriff gegen die
Caro-Kann-Verteidigung. (Tarrasch)  Vor zwei bis drei Jahren galt die
Caro-Kann-Verteidigung als die am sichersten zum Ausgleich führende
Verteidigung. Weiß setzte gewöhnlich mit 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 fort, womit die
Bauernspannung im Zentrum aufgelöst und die Partie in friedliche Bahnen
gelenkt wurde. Die Caro-Kann-Verteidigung verdankt ihre Reputation namentlich
Capablanca, der seine Remistaktik mit den schwarzen Steinen in der erwähnten
Variante zur Vollkommenheit führte. Was die Variante 3. cxd5 exd5 4.Bd3 Nf6 5.
Bf4 Nc6 6.c3 Bg4 angeht, so schätzte er sie sogar zu Gunsten des Schwarzen ab,
der im Mittelspiel einen Bauernmarsch am Damenflügel durchführen kann. Man
sollte interessehalber erwähnen, daß Flohr diesen Angriff, auch analog im
Damengambit, mit oftmaligem Erfolg durchführte.  Allerdings hat sich die
Situation seit dem vergangenen Jahr geändert. Der Moskauer Schachspieler Panov
führte ein neues Angriffssystem ein, das auch seinen Namen erhielt. Die
Panov-Variante wurde in den Händen des jetzigen Weltmeisters Aljechin zu einer
äußerst gefährlichen Waffe und erst einige Monate vor Beginn dieses
Wettkampfes fand man für Schwarz wirksame Gegengifte. In der vorliegenden
Partie versucht Weiß erneut das Panov-System zu verstärken. (Botvinnik)} cxd5

"?" This is bad, because it helps my opponent develop and gives him the bishop
pair which goes on to wage a victorious campaign agians the knights. However
White gets a passed pawn and, above all: for the endgame Black's four kingside
pawns are not much better than White's  three, so that White is in reality a
pawn ahead. It has to be said that all these relationships were hard to see
through and it was hard to weih up the advantages and disdvantages of the
exchange. So White had to quickly decide on the simple continuation Qd3: which
always meant a good game for him. (Tarrasch)  The opinion has frequently been
expressed that players are often stuck at the board with the blunders that
were made in home analysis. It is bad for a player to lay too much trust at
the board on the lines he has worked out previously. This is what happened in
the present game.   Of course it would never occur to me in a normal
tournament game to make this exchange without a specific reason. White's 10th
move is the fruit of insufficiently deep home analysis. Because in the second
line I had worked out (10.Nf3 e6 11.0-0-0? Be7 12.Rxd3 exd5!), Back was more
or less comfortable, I chose 10.Bxf6.  In the absence of calculated concrete
variations, I decided that Black would not be able to prevent the exchange of
one of his bishops, which would bring into relief the strength of the passed
d-pawn.  But, as becomes clear in the future course of the game, Black will
manage to retain his bishop pair and to blockade the d5-pawn reliably. 
(Botvinnik) "?" Das ist schlecht, denn es entwickelt den Gegner und gibt ihm
das Läuferpaar, das in der Folge gegen die Springer einen siegreichen Kampf
führt. Allerdings bekommt Weiß einen Freibauern und vor allem: für das
Endspiel werden die vier Bauern des schwarzen Königsflügels nicht viel mehr
wert sein als die drei weißen, sodaß Weiß eigentlich einen Bauern mehr haben
wird. Zuzugeben ist, daß alle diese Verhältnisse undurchsichtig und die
Vorteile und Nachteile des Abtausches schwer gegen einander abzuwägen waren.
Um so eher aber mußte sich Weiß dann für die einfache Fortsetzung Qd3:
entschließen, die ihm immer ein gutes Spiel sicherte. (Tarrasch)  Wiederholt
ist die Meinung geäußert worden, der Spieler sei am Brett oft vor den
Schnitzern gefeit, die in der Hausanalyse gemacht werden. Und schlecht ist es,
wenn der Spieler am Brett zu sehr seinen vorher ausgearbeiteten Varianten
vertraut. So geschah es auch in vorliegender Partie.   Selbstverständlich käme
mir nicht in einer  gewöhnlichen Turnierpartie in den Sinn, ohne einen
besonderen Grund auf diesen Tausch einzugehen. Der zehnte Zug des Weißen ist
die Frucht einer ungenügend tiefen Hausanalyse. Weil in der zweiten von mir
ausgearbeiteten Variante, 10.Nf3 e6 11.0-0-0? Be7 12.Rxd3 exd5!, eher Schwarz
bequem steht, wählte ich 10.Bxf6.  In Ermangelung ausgearbeiteter konkreter
Varianten entschied ich, daß Schwarz den Abtausch eines seiner Läufer nicht
verhindern werden kann, wonach sich die Stärke des freien d-Bauern zeigen
sollte.  Wie aus dem weiteren Gang der Partie ersichtlich, wird es Schwarz
aber gelingen, sein Läuferpaar zu erhalten und den Bauern d5 zuverläßig zu
blockieren. (Botvinnik)} ({If White now simply recaptures on d3, Wenn Weiß
jetzt einfach auf d3 wiederschlägt,} 10. Qxd3 {, he is somewhat better: he has
an advantage of 2 tempi, after  e7-e6 he can castle with a strong lead in
development; after , steht er etwas besser; denn er ist mit 2 Tempi im Vorteil;

game. (Tarrasch) mit gutem Spiel. (Tarrasch)}) 10... exf6 {"!" Black is not
afraid of the passed pawn, which he immediately carefully stops, and is
correct in his judgement. (Tarrasch)  "!" Completely correct. First, Black
puts his bishops on the d-file, after which the d5-pawn loses all of its power,
and then he manages to guard his bishops against sorties by the opposing
knights. (Botvinnik)  "!" Schwarz fürchtet sich nicht vor dem Freibauern, den
er sofort sorgfältigst stoppt, und behält mit seinem Urteil recht. (Tarrasch) 
"!" Vollkommen richtig. Als erstes stellt Schwarz seine Läufer auf der d-Linie
auf, wonach der Bauer d5 seine gesamte Kraft verliert, danach gelingt es ihm,
seine Läufer vor den Ausfällen der gegnerischen Springer zu bewahren.

is a tempo ahead, but Black has the two bishops in completely open play which
suits them perfectly. The game is approximately level. (Tarrasch)     Weiß ist
mit einem Tempo im Vorteil, aber dafür hat Schwarz die beiden Läufer bei
völlig offenem Spiel, wo die Läufer trefflich zur Wirkung kommen. Das Spiel
steht ungefähr gleich. (Tarrasch)} 12. Nge2 {It is soon apparent that the
knight would be better placed on f3. (Tarrasch) Es zeigt sich bald, daß der
Springer besser auf f3 stände. (Tarrasch)} O-O 13. O-O Re8 {If White's king's
knight were on f3, White could stand up to Black effectively with Re1. But the
weaker knight move is followed by other bad moves. (Tarrasch)  "!" Nicely

mit Re1 wirksam opponieren. So aber hat der schwächere Springerzug andere
schlechte Züge zur Folge. (Tarrasch)  "!" Schön gespielt. (Botvinnik)} 14. Rad1
{"?"  A double mistake: of course the rook belongs on an open file and not on
a closed one; and then, what will happen if the opponent sets up a pin with
the very obvious move Bg4? Will the rook then have to move again to break the
pin? What sort of principles are that for planning! (Tarrasch) Ein doppelter
Fehler: der Turm gehört selbstverständlich auf eine offene Linie und nicht auf
eine geschlossene; und dann: was soll geschehen, wenn der Gegner durch den
sehr naheliegenden Zug Bg4 eine Fesselung herstellt? Dann soll der Turm, um
die Fesselung aufzuheben, nochmals ziehen? Was sind das für Prinzipien in der
Spielführung! (Tarrasch)} ({It was better to play Besser war es, mit} 14. Nd4 {

to go back. White's correct plan was to regroup by Ne2-d4-f3 and then exchange
rooks on the e-file. But unfortunately White is still full of hope of being
able to swap off one of the opposing bishops and thus does not hit on this
plan at once. After the text move, Black's position is obviously preferable. 
(Botvinnik) und nachfolgendem 15....a6 der Springer wieder zurückkehren muß.
Der richtige Plan für Weiß bestand in der Umgruppierung Se2-d4-f3 und
anschließendem Abtausch der Türme auf der e-Linie. Leider ist Weiß aber noch
voller Hoffnung, einen der beiden gegnerischen Läufer abtauschen zu können und
verfällt deshalb nicht sofort auf diesen Plan. Nach dem Textzug verdient die
schwarze Stellung offensichtlich den Vorzug. (Botvinnik)}) 14... Bg4 {This
looks dangerous but does not really pressurise White. Of course Black does not
worsen his position. In the course of the next moves, Black systematically
limits the freedom of action of the knights. (Botvinnik)     Das sieht
gefährlich aus, bedrängt aber den Weißen in Wirklichkeit nicht. Freilich
verschlechtert Schwarz seine Stellung nicht. Im Verlauf der weiteren Züge
begrenzt Schwarz planmäßig das Tätigkeitsgebiet der Springer. (Botvinnik)} 15.
Rd2 {This move lacks any positional sense! How  can the rook leave the first
rank when the opposing rook dominates the open file! White should without any
embarrassment move his rook to e1. But perhaps Botvinnik was embarrassed about
showing his countrymen such a spectacle in the first game of the match. 
(Weaker players will ask: "Why not simply f2-f3?" that lossens up the position
and exposes the king to a check from the b6-g1 diagonal. Experienced players
avoid such moves.) (Tarrasch) Das ist ein Zug ohne jedes Positionsgefühl! Wie
durfte der Turm die erste Reihe verlassen, wo der feindliche Turm die offene
Linie beherrscht! Weiß sollte den Turm, ohne zu erröten, nach e1 ziehen. Aber
wahrscheinlich genierte sich Botwinnik, seinen Landsleuten in der ersten
Partie des Wettkampfs ein solches Schauspiel zu bieten. (Der schwächere
Spieler wird fragen: "Warum nicht einfach f2-f3?" das lockert die Stellung und
setzt den König einem Schach der Diagonale b6-g1 aus. Der Geübte vermeidet
solche Züge.) (Tarrasch)} a6 {To prevent Nb5. (Tarrasch)   Um Nb5 zu
verhindern. (Tarrasch)} 16. Ng3 {Another weak move, because only a few moves
later the knight beats a rueful retreat to its departure point! Knights belong
in the centre, where they are even superior to bishops. (Tarrasch) Auch wieder
schwach gespielt, denn wenige Züge später kehrt der Springer reuig dahin
zurück, woher er kam der Fahrt! Die Springer gehören in's Zentrum, wo sie den
Läufern sogar überlegen sind. (Tarrasch)} ({So a better move was Also besser}

master! He masses his major pieces on a closed file! He protects the isolated
queen pawn, which is not even being attacked, for the fourth time! Botvinnik
is probably a victim of Nimzowitsch's erroneous teachings about overprotection.
Or perhaps he wanted to follow my rule: "Rooks belong behind passed pawns."?
That however would be a grotesque misunderstanding, because of course my rule
is true for the endgame and not for the opening. (Tarrasch)  White is still
marking time. The immediate 18.Re2 was better, offering an exchange of rooks. 
(Botvinnik) Wieder ein eines Meisters unwürdiger Zug! Auf der geschlossenen
Linie massiert er seine schweren Figuren! Er deckt den isolierten Damenbauern,
der gar nicht angegriffen ist, zum vierten Mal! Da ist Botwinnik wohl ein
Opfer von Niemzowitschs Irrlehre von der Überdeckung" geworden. Oder sollte er
am Ende meinen Satz: "Die Türme gehören hinter Freibauern." haben befolgen
wollen? Das wäre allerdings ein groteskes Mißverständnis, denn dieser Satz
gilt natürlich für das Endspiel und nicht für die Eröffnung. (Tarrasch)  Weiß
tritt noch immer auf der Stelle. Einfacher war das unmittelbare 18.Re2, das
Abtausch anbietet. (Botvinnik)} ({Mit} 18. Re2 {and then Rfe1 allowed things

bald folgenden f6-f5 sucht Schwarz den Springern gute Felder zu nehmen.

uneinehmbare Position besetzen. (Botvinnik)} 19. Re2 {Better late than never!
That rooks belong on open lines is self-evident. (Tarrasch)  White must now
accept that his position is worse and systematically play to achieve equality.
Because the combination of the bishop pair and rooks is so strong, the most
necessary thing now is to exchange rooks. (Botvinnik) Besser spät als nie! Daß
die Türme auf offene Linien gehören, ist eine Binsenweisheit. (Tarrasch)  Weiß
muß sich jetzt mit dem Gedanken abfinden, daß seine Stellung schlechter ist
und systematisch auf Ausgleich spielen. Weil das Läuferpaar in Verbindung mit
den Türmen besonders stark ist, ist nun als erstes vonnöten, die Türme zu
tauschen. (Botvinnik)} ({There is no way White can exploit the f6-square so

übel dran. Und zudem gibt der Bauer eine Marke zum Angriff mit a6-a5.

correct one was a kingside advance, as his pawn majority encouraged him to do.

pawn sacrifice wins the game for Black! (Tarrasch)  Black is somewhat better

Schwarz einen falschen Plan; der richtige bestand im Vorgehen auf dem

breakthrough on the queenside, which should however have led to no more than a

Remis hätte führen sollen. (Botvinnik)} a5 {The pawn sacrifice on offer is
very subtle, but not totally correct. Of course two replies were worth

Botvinnik chooses... the third, which did not merit consideration  (the Dutch
chess editor Schelfhout has very wittily called it a "melancholy" continuation.

decides the endgame, although for the moment the forces are equal. A pawn is
lost, either by Bf1 or by K-e7-d6. (Tarrasch)  The game was adjourned in this
position. If White attempts to save the kingside pawns, it is clear that he
will lose the d5-pawn . When the game was resumed on the 30th November, White
prolonged his pointless resistance by another three moves. (Botvinnik)   Damit
ist das Endspiel entschieden, obwohl die Kräfte vorläufig noch gleich sind.
Ein Bauer geht verloren, entweder durch Bf1 oder durch K-e7-d6. (Tarrasch)  In
dieser Stellung wurde die Partie abgebrochen. Falls Weiß versucht, die
Königsflügelbauern zu retten, so ist leicht zu erkennen, daß er den d5-Bauern
verliert. Bei Wiederaufnahme der Partie am 30. November verlängerte Weiß den
nutzlosen Widerstand noch um drei Züge. (Botvinnik)} 38. Kd4 Bf1 39. h4 Bxg2
40. Kc5 f4 {And White resigned because he cannot achieve anything with his
passed pawn. After Kc6 or Kd6 it cannot advance and after d5-d6 it is stopped
by K-e6-d7. But Black can easily create an unstoppable passed pawn, best of
all by h5 and g5.    In game 11 (Vol. 5 [Rauzer-Botvinnik, Leningrad 1933])
Botvinnik charmed us all with his brilliant moves; but the present game also
shows that he is capable of making really bad ones, and even a lot of them in
a single game. Flohr has demonstrated considerable superiority. After this
single game, my prognosis for Botvinnik in in the match is very unfavourable.
Readers will perhaps find my criticism of this game very strong and perhaps
regret my use of the term "really bad moves". But a master can have a bad game,
and on occasion that happens to all of us; it can also happen that his
attention slips and that he gives away a piece; that is human and a human
being is not a machine. But there are certain moves which a master should
absolutely never make and these are the domain of the woodpusher. Botvinnik's
genius is capable of bearing him to the heights of chess Olympus, but also to
the depths of the chess underworld. (Tarrasch)  White resigned because Black
even wins by simply sacrificing his bishop for the pawn and then pshing
through one of his kingside pawns to the queening square. (Botvinnik)    Und
Weiß gab auf, denn er kann seinen Freibauern nicht zur Geltung bringen. bei
Kc6 oder Kd6 kann er nicht vor und bei d5-d6 wird er durch K-e6-d7 gestoppt.
Schwarz aber kann sich leicht einen unaufhaltsamen Freibauern verschaffen, am
besten durch h5 und g5. - In Partie 11 (Heft 5 [Rauzer-Botvinnik, Leningrad
1933]) hat Botwinnik durch seine genialen Züge entzückt; die vorliegende
Partie zeigt, daß er auch fähig ist, Stümperzüge zu machen und zwar in einer
Partie eine ganze Anzahl. Flohr hat eine bedeutende Überlegenheit bewiesen.
Nach dieser einen Partie stelle ich für Botwinnik in dem Wettkampf eine sehr
ungünstige Prognose. Die Leser werden meine Kritik dieser Partie sehr scharf
finden und vielleicht den Ausdruck "stümperhaft" bemängeln. Aber ein Meister
kann Partien schlecht spielen und das passiert gelegentlich jedem; es kann
auch vorkommen, daß seine Aufmerksamkeit erlahmt und er eine Figur einstellt,
das alles ist menschlich und der Mensch ist keine Maschine. Aber es gibt
gewisse Züge, auf die der Meister nicht verfallen d a r f; diese bilden das
Reservatrecht des Stümpers. Botwinniks Genius hat eben die Fähigkeit, sich zu
den Höhen des Schach-Olymps aufzuschwingen, aber auch, zu den Tiefen der
Schachunterwelt hinabzusteigen. (Tarrasch)  Weiß gab auf, weil Schwarz selbst
dann gewinnt, wenn er einfach seinen Läufer gegen den d-Bauern opfert und
anschließend mit seinen Königsflügelbauern zur Dame läuft. (Botvinnik)} 0-1

{Do you think that kingside attacks with g2-g4 only happen when the game
begins with e2-e4? Then you will find out that you are wrong. The concept of
including g2-g4-g5 with the idea of pushing away from f6 the knight which is
very often a key piece in controlling the central squares and protecting the
king, fits the Queen's Gambit and Nimzo Indian as well. Sometimes this sharp
move, followed by h2-h4, is aimed at pushing away other black pieces in order
to get more space on the kingside. On several occasions Botvinnik pioneered
these ideas, building long-term strategic plans on this foundation.   Glauben
Sie, daß Königsangriffe mit dem Zug g2-g4 nur in Partien vorkommen, die mit
e2-e4 beginnen? Dann werden Sie feststellen, daß Sie sich irren. Der Plan,
g2-g4-g5 zu spielen, um den schwarzen Springer von f6 zu vertreiben, wo er
eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Kontrolle der Zentrumsfelder und der Verteidigung
des Königs spielt, paßt ebensogut zum Damengambit und Nimzoindisch. Manchmal
soll der scharfe Zug, gefolgt von h2-h4, auch andere schwarze Figuren
vertreiben, um Weiß mehr Raum am Königsflügel zu verschaffen. Ein Pionier
dieser Ideen war Mikhail Botvinnik, der langfristige strategische Pläne für
sie entwickelte.} 1. d4 e6 2. c4 d5 3. Nf3 Be7 4. Nc3 Nf6 5. Bg5 O-O 6. e3 a6

the game has transposed into the Carlsbad System, identifiable by the pawn
structure which occurs in the event of an early exchange on d5. In the
Thirties conventional wisdom left White with one viable option: castle on the
kingside and launch a so-called "minority attack" (two against three pawns) on
the queenside with b2-b4-b5, intending to create a weakness on c6 or an
isolated pawn on d5. In view of this Alatortsev was sure that an early a7-a6
would not be a waste of time. However, Botvinnik was looking in a different
direction!    Nach dem etwas merkwürdigen sechsten Zug von Schwarz ist die
Partie in die Abtauschvariante übergegangen, wie man an der Bauernstruktur
nach dem frühen Tausch auf d5 erkennt. In den dreißiger Jahren gab es nach
allgemeinem Konsens nur einen gangbaren Weg für Weiß: kurz zu rochieren und
mittels b2-b4-b5 einen Minoritätsangriff (zwei gegen drei Bauern) am
Damenflügel zu starten. Deswegen war Alatortsev sicher, daß sein frühes a7-a6
keine Zeitverschwendung sein konnte. Allerdings schaute Botvinnik in eine ganz
andere Richtung!} 10. g4 $1 {A shocking blow! No more talk of "I'll make you a

their almost mystical fear of playing with isolated pawns in the centre. This
fear had been pervasive since Steinitz' impressive victories over Zukertort
and the powerful logical arguments the first World Champion put forth against
creating unnecessary weaknesses. Botvinnik was the first to prove constantly
that active piece play with pressure in the centre very often more than
compensates for a slight defect of the pawn structure. Stellungen mit
isoliertem Bauern gehörten immer zu Botvinniks besonderen Vorlieben. Wir
verdanken es seiner Anstrengung, alle Möglichkeiten solcher Stellungen ans
Licht zu bringen, daß die Schachspieler Ihre eher mystische Angst davor
verloren, mit einem isolierten Bauern im Zentrum zu spielen. Diese Angst
existierte seit Steinitz' beeindruckenden Siegen über Zuckertort und wurde
durch die kraftvolle logische Argumentation des ersten Weltmeisters gegen
überflüssige Schwächen verstärkt. Botvinnik war der erste, der ständig bewies,
daß aktives Figurenspiel mit Druck im Zentrum kleinere Defekte der

{The chess tournament organised by the Dutch radio company AVRO was the most
representative gathering of all of the strongest chess players of the time.
Mikhail Botvinnik was only third (!) in this magnificent event, but his two
superb victories over Alekhine and Capablanca gave a serious foundation to his
claim to the world title - a dream he eventually fulfilled ten years later. 
The game described below belongs to the golden treasury of chess. It proves
that Botvinnik's strategical vision was already superior to the greatest
genius of the old guard.   Das Turnier wurde 1938 von dem niederländischen
Radio-Hersteller AVRO organisiert und war eine Zusammenkunft der weltbesten
Spieler jener Zeit. Mikhail Botvinnik wurde nur dritter (!) in diesem
großartigen Turnier, aber seine hervorragenden Siege gegen Aljechin und
Capablanca untermauerten seinen ernsthaften Anspruch auf den Titel des
Weltmeisters Ä ein Traum, der zehn Jahre später in Erfüllung ging.  Die
folgende Partie gehört zum goldenen Schatz des königlichen Spiels. Sie beweist,
daß Botvinniks strategische Weitsicht bereits damals dem großen Genie der
alten Garde überlegen war.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 d5 5. a3 Bxc3+
6. bxc3 c5 7. cxd5 exd5 {Today we all know that due to Black's premature
definition of the pawn structure in the centre White has the better
opportunities to gain the initiative. But in those days both opponents were
wandering in 'terra incognita' - the routes that were to develop in the
Nimzo-Indian Defence were just being formed.   Heute wissen wir alle, daß die
vorzeitige Festlegung der schwarzen Bauernstruktur im Zentrum Weiß beim Kampf
um die Initiative bessere Chancen einräumt. Aber zu jener Zeit wanderten beide
Gegner noch auf 'terra incognita' - man hatte gerade erst begonnen, die
endgültigen Pfade in der Nimzoindischen Verteidigung zu definieren.} 8. Bd3 O-O
9. Ne2 b6 10. O-O Ba6 {[#]  By all chess standards that dominated the minds of
the chess players in the 20s and 30s Black has absolutely nothing to complain
about. Good pawn structure, easy development, no weaknesses. White isn't even
threatening any immediate action. However, Botvinnik felt correctly that a
possibility of a central advance e3-e4-e5 (after the preparatory f3) could
lead to a violent attack on the kingside. Hard to believe? Well, at least you
are thinking along the same lines as the great Cuban champion. Nach allen
gängigen Maßstäben der Meister der zwanziger und dreißiger Jahre müßte Schwarz
mit dieser Stellung ganz zufrieden sein. Eine gute Bauernstruktur, leichte
Entwicklung, keine greifbaren Schwächen. Weiß droht nicht einmal, irgendwelche
Aktivitäten zu entfalten. Allerdings fühlte Botvinnik völlig zu Recht, daß die
Möglichkeit eines Vorstoßes im Zentrum mit e3-e4-e5 (nach dem vorbereitenden
f3) einen scharfen Angriff im Zentrum einleiten könnte. Sie glauben das nicht?
Nun, das tat ebensowenig der kubanischen Exweltmeister.} ({In the game

Schritt für Schritt, durch stetiges praktisches Ausprobieren, die alten Pläne
revidieren und durch neue, bessere ersetzen. Der wichtigste Beitrag bleibt
indes die Definition der langfristigen Strategie eines solchen
Eröffnungssystems!}) 11. Bxa6 {Inzwischen haben uns viele Partien gezeigt, daß

[%cal Ya6b8,Yb8c6,Yc6a5,Ya5b3] This serious positional mistake has a clear
historical background. The 50-year-old Capablanca in his long chess career
never dealt with hidden dynamic factors. His unique intuition and rich
experience didn't send any danger signals here. Instead he counted on using
his opponent's light squares with the long manoeuvre Na6-b8-c6-a5-b3.
Capablanca simply underestimated the explosive power of White's position.  
Ein ernsthafter positioneller Fehler, aber einer mit einem klaren
geschichtlichen Hintergrund. Der 50jährige Capablanca hatte in seiner langen
Schachkarriere nie mit versteckten dynamischen Faktoren zu tun. Seine
einzigartige Intuition und reiche Erfahrung haben hier keine Gefahrensignale
ausgesandt. Statt dessen hat er damit gerechnet, die weißen Felder des Gegners
mit dem langen Manöver Sa6-b8-c6-a5-b3 ausnutzen zu können. Capablanca hat
ganz einfach die Explosivkraft der Weißen Stellung unterschätzt.} 15. Qc2 Nb8

take his opponent's threats more seriously - the white knight is heading for

open the black castled position. But Capablanca cannot be frightened by these
shadows on the horizon. The stubborn proponent of economy was famous for an
astonishing ability to defend his king with a minimum of resources while his
main army was gaining an advantage elsewhere. Sonst kann der isolierte
Springer mit Nb3-c5! sehr effektiv wieder ins Spiel kommen. Jetzt muß Schwarz
die gegnerischen Drohungen sehr ernst nehmen: der weiße Springer strebt über

Rochadestellung des weißen Königs aufbrechen. Aber Capablanca ließ sich von
den dunklen Wolken am Horizont nicht einschüchtern. Der große Verfechter von

biggest prize. Der erste Zug dieses Läufers, 12.Bb2?, war ein schlechter
Scherz, der zweite kleine Schritt von b2 nach a3 schafft ein Drama auf dem

letztendlich den Weg zum Erfolg ebnete.} 1-0

{Der sechste Weltmeister, Mikhail Moiseyevich Botvinnik, leitete eine neue Ära
der Eröffnungsvorbereitung ein. Er schuf sich ein komplettes Repertoire,
welches geeignet war, seine Gegner in Stellungen zu locken, in denen seine
Heimanalyse ihm einen Vorteil im Verständnis des Potentials und der
strategischen Möglichkeiten gab.  Eines der bedeutendsten Eröffnungssysteme,
welches heute seinen Namen trägt, ist das Botvinnik-System. Schwarz nimmt, wie
wir in der letzten Kolumne erfahren haben, eine Stellung in Kauf, die optisch
zertrümmert aussieht, aber ihm ein großes dynamisches Potential im Zentrum und
Angriffschancen am Königsflügel gibt. Heute möchte ich Ihnen ein
Paradebeispiel für die Möglichkeiten des Botvinnik-Systems vorführen. Es
ereignete sich am Brett 1 des Radio-Matches Sowjetunion-USA 1945.} 1. d4 d5 2.

{The participant of this historic event, organized after the sudden death of
the reigning champion Alexander Alekhine in 1946, were Botvinnik, Euwe, Keres,
Symslov and Reshevsky. The Dutch ex-world champion was the only player in the
group that Botvinnik had never beaten before. So successful games against Euwe
were an important part of Botvinnik's triumphal race for the crown (in the end
the score of their micro-match was +2, =3, -0 for the Soviet champion).   Nach
dem plötzlichen Tod des amtierenden Weltmeisters Alexander Alekhine 1946
organisierte der Weltschachbund ein Match-Turnier zur Ermittlung seines
Nachfolgers. Die fünf Teilnehmer an dieser historischen Veranstaltung waren
Botvinnik, Euwe, Keres, Symslov und Reshevsky. In dieser Gruppe war der
holländische Ex-Weltmeister der einzige, den Botvinnik noch nie geschlagen
hatte. Insofern waren erfolgreiche Partien gegen Euwe ein wichtiger
Bestandteil von Botvinniks Sturm auf den Schachgipfel. Zum Schluß stand es im
Mikromatch gegen Euwe +2, =3, -0 für den sowjetischen Meister.} 1. d4 d5 2. Nf3

Botvinnik's favourites. He liked to play it with both colours and always
managed to create problems for his opponents.   Der Meran - eine von
Botvinniks Lieblingseröffnungen. Er spielte sie mit beiden Farben und schaffte
es stets, für den Gegner Probleme zu schaffen.} 8. Bd3 a6 {The oldest move. A

bevorzugen} (8... Bb7) ({Some even try Einige versuchen sogar} 8... b4 {

sehr soliden Ruf besitzt.}) 9. e4 c5 10. e5 {After almost 70 years of heavy
theoretical discussion White hasn't made the final choice betewwn the two
possible pawn advances in the centre - 10.e5 or 10.d5. In both cases Black is
balancing on a rope, but with excellent chances of grasping the initiative.  
Nach fast 70 Jahren tiefer theoretischer Diskussion hat Weiß noch keine
endgültige Entscheidung bezüglich der beiden möglichen Bauernvorstöße im
Zentrum, 10.e5 oder 10.d5, getroffen. Beide Fälle sind für Schwarz ein
Seiltanz, in dem er aber ausgezeichnete Chancen hat, die Initiative zu
ergreifen.} cxd4 11. Nxb5 axb5 {Botvinnik himself never betrayed his first
choice:   Botvinnik selbst war immer dem Zug} (11... Nxe5 {But again no final

Theoretiker kein endgültiges Urteil gesprochen.}) 12. exf6 Qb6 {Only at this
moment can we be reasonably sure that Black has gone for a second-class option.

minderwertige Fortsetzung gewählt hat:} (12... gxf6 $1 {yields much better
practical results.   liefert erheblich bessere praktische Ergebnisse.}) 13.

harmonious development, good pawns in the centre. But his king safety, which
doesn't look like a problem, is soon to become a permanent headache.   Auf den
ersten Blick hat Schwarz keinen Grund zur Beschwerde, mit einfacher,
harmonischer Entwicklung und guten Bauern im Zentrum. Aber seine
Königssicherheit, die im Moment nicht kritisch aussieht, wird rasch zu einem
dauerhaften Problem.} Nc5 {Understandably, Euwe wanted to be able to eliminate
the dangerous light-squared bishop at his convenience, but he was losing
control of the important central squares. Also notice that piece exchanges
don't solve all of Black's problems - as long as the queens are around. After
the natural   Verständlicherweise wollte Euwe den gefährlichen weißfeldrigen
Läufer nach Belieben abtauschen können, aber er verliert die Kontrolle über
die wichtigen Zentrumsfelder. Auch sollte man beachten, daß Figurenabtäusche
die schwarzen Probleme keineswegs alle lösen können. Solange es Damen auf dem
Brett gibt, bleibt die akute Gefahr bestehen.} ({Nach dem natürlichen} 14...

stabilen Vorteil.}) 15. Bf4 Bb7 16. Re1 Rd8 $2 {In view of the inevitable
exchange of the dark-square bishops Euwe obviously wasn't happy about castling,
but by leaving the king in the centre he is definitely looking for trouble.
The logical realisation of Black's plan was   Angesichts des unvermeidlichen
Abtausches des schwarzfeldrigen Läufers war Euwe offensichtlich über eine
Rochade nicht glücklich, aber den König in der Mitte zu lassen, war
zweifelsohne ziemlich gefährlich.} ({Die logische Fortsetzung des schwarzen
Plans war} 16... Nxd3 17. Qxd3 Bxf3 18. Qxf3 O-O {limiting White's attacking

wird. Allerdings ist nach} 19. Qg4 {and  und} -- 20. Be5 {White's position is
definitely to be preferred. The strong passed central pawn  doesn't fully
compensate for the weakened king.   die weiße Stellung die angenehmere, da der
starke zentrale Freibauer keine ausreichende Kompensation für den geschwächten
König bietet.}) 17. Rc1 Rd5 18. Be5 {It's clear now that the odd rook
manoeuvre played straight into Botvinnik's hands. White has accomplished his
plan and the coming rook exchange will leave the black king even more exposed
to attack.   Es ist nun klar, daß das merkwürdige Turmmanöver direkt in
Botvinniks Hände spielte. Weiß hat sein Ziel erreicht, der bevorstehende
Turmtausch wird die schwarze Stellung noch mehr für gegnerische Angriffe
entblößen.} Bxe5 {Euwe missed another opportunity to castle, but even this was
merely the lesser of two evils. After   Euwe verpaßte eine weitere Gelegenheit,
zu rochieren, aber auch das war nur das geringere von zwei Übeln. Nach} (18...

was even worse!   Wenn nun der Springer zieht, kann Schwarz auf eine
Entspannung der Lage hoffen. Aber das trügt. Mit dem einfachen 22.Sg4 kann
Weiß den unerträglichen Druck aufrecht erhalten. Erste Analysen mit dem

compensation for losing the right to castle?   Es sieht so aus, als wäre alles
in Ordnung für Schwarz. Schließlich fragt man sich, worin die weiße
Kompensation für das verlorene Rochaderecht zu suchen ist. Botvinnik liefert
die Antwort:} 10. g4 $1 {Goes without saying! The right moment cannot be
missed. By pushing the knight from f6 White creates disharmony among Black's
pieces, which becomes a crucial factor when the position is opened. 10...h6
doesn't...   Natürlich! Man darf den rechten Augenblick nicht verpassen. Weiß
vertreibt den Springer von f6 und schafft damit eine Disharmonie unter den
schwarzen Figuren, was zu einem kritischen Faktor wird, sobald die Stellung
geöffnet wird. 10...h6 kann den Plan nicht vereiteln: 11.Df3 c6 12.h4 und der
Vorstoß g4-g5 ist noch effektiver.} c6 (10... h6 {does not stop White:} 11. Qf3

{Vassely Smyslov, the great innovator with the black pieces, had less
influence on the development of openings theory when he played with the white
pieces. Smyslov was simply satisfied with a comfortable, free game. His
favourite choices with White were quite significant:   Vassily Smyslov, der
große Erneuerer mit den schwarzen Steinen, konnte neue Ideen auch in
Eröffnungen produzieren, die gar nicht zu seinem Repertoire gehörten und auch
nicht einmal typisch für ihn waren. Ich möchte das mit einer Partie aus der
Weltmeisterschaft gegen Botvinnik verdeutlichen, in der Smyslov neues Leben in
die Königsindische Verteidigung einhauchte, eine Eröffnung, die zu meinen
eigenen Favoriten gehört.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. g3 Bg7 4. Bg2 O-O 5. Nc3 {I
guess Botvinnik was quite pleased that Smyslov didn't take the opportunity to
switch to the Grunfeld with 4...d5. The King's Indian had never occurred
before in Smyslov's games, while Botvinnik had great experience in this
opening.   Ich schätze, daß Botvinnik ganz zufrieden war, daß sein Gegner
nicht die Gelegenheit wahrnahm, mit 4...d5 in die Grünfeldverteidigung
einzuschwenken. Smyslov hatte nie zuvor Königsindisch gespielt, während
Botvinnik große Erfahrung mit dieser Eröffnung besaß.} d6 6. Nf3 Nbd7 7. O-O e5
8. e4 c6 9. Be3 {It is important to note that Botvinnik's last move was a
novelty, at least for official openings theory. However, in his deep
preparation of unusual openings (for his style at least) Smyslov predicted
such a turn of events. With his counter he eventually put White's idea out of
business! Today the best options are 9.h3 or 9.b3.   Es ist wichtig
festzuhalten, daß dieser Zug von Botvinnik eine Neuerung darstellt -
jedenfalls für die offizielle Eröffnungstheorie. Aber die gründliche
Vorbereitung von Smyslov auch in dieser für ihn völlig atypischen Eröffnung
hatte Botvinniks Zug bereits berücksichtigt. Seine Erwiderung hat die weiße
Idee letztendlich außer Betrieb gesetzt. Heute spielt man statt dessen 9.h3
oder 9.b3.} ({After the match in 1954 the King's Indian had practically
vanished from Smyslov's playing repertoire. But in 1980, playing Bukal, he
showed how profound his preparations for the first match with Botvinnik had
been:   Nach dem WM-Kampf von 1954 verschwand Königsindisch aus Smyslovs
Eröffnungsrepertoire. Aber 1980 in einer Partie gegen Bukal zeigte er, wie
gründlich seine Vorbereitung für das Match gegen Botvinnik gewesen war.} 9. h3
Qb6 10. Re1 exd4 11. Nxd4 Ne8 $1 {For years the world's best experts had been
playing automatically 11...Re8 and experiencing certain difficulties in this
opening. Smyslov's invention in 1954 (!) dramatically changed the character of
the position.Wherever the white knight on d4 goes Black is able to develop
effective counterplay. That is why white players today predominantly prefer 10.
c5 – even Karpov has finally switched to this very sharp line. What could be a
higher appreciation of Smyslov's knight retreat to e8 in the King's Indian.  
Seit Jahren hatten die besten Experten der Welt automatisch 11...Te8 gespielt
und damit einige Schwierigkeiten mit dieser Eröffnung bekommen. Smyslovs
Erfindung von 1954 (!) hat den Charakter der Stellung drastisch verändert.
Egal, wohin der weiße Springer auf d4 zieht, Schwarz kann effektives
Gegenspiel erzeugen. Aus diesem Grund spielt man heute lieber 10.c5 - sogar
Karpov ist zum Schluß zu dieser sehr scharfen Variante umgeschwenkt. Es gibt
keine größere Anerkennung für Smyslovs Rückzug des Springers nach e8 in
Königsindisch.}) 9... Ng4 $1 10. Bg5 Qb6 11. h3 exd4 $1 12. Na4 Qa6 13. hxg4 b5
{Now the temporarily sacrificed piece will be returned, after which the
multiple pawn weaknesses on both sides make the position dynamically equal.  
Jetzt bekommt Schwarz die vorübergehend geopferte Figur zurück. Danach ist die
Stellung, die auf beiden Seiten mehrfache Bauernschwächen aufweist, dynamisch
ausgeglichen.} 14. Nxd4 ({Many years later, in 1992, Yussupov tried an
improvement against me in the Linares tournament:   Viele Jahre später, 1992
beim Turnier in Linares, hat Jussupow gegen mich eine Verbesserung versucht:}

The position Tal was heading for. Two pawns is not enough compensation for the
sacrificed piece, but if you add permanent problems with the king, the dubious
rook on h7, then the practical difficulties of playing this position with
black will become obvious. Such semi-correct sacrifices were a significant
element of Tal's phenomenal successes in the late Fifties. His magical energy
- and the pressure of the ticking clock - caused his opponents to regularly
lose their heads and crack. In Botvinnik's case Tal was up against an iron
character, supported by precise psychological calculation. Botvinnik stood
firm in face of this terrible chess twister.   Das ist die Stellung, die Tal
angestrebt hat. Zwei Bauern sind zwar nicht genügend Kompensation für die
geopferte Figur, aber wenn man die permanenten Probleme mit dem König sowie
den verdächtigen Turm auf h7 dazuzählt, dann werden die praktischen
Schwierigkeiten von Weiß etwas deutlicher. Solche halbkorrekte Opfer waren ein
Merkmal von Tals phänomenaler Erfolgsserie in den späten fünfziger Jahren.
Seine mystische Energie, gekoppelt mit dem Druck der tickenden Uhr, hat
reihenweise zum Zusammenbruch des Gegners geführt. Im Falle Botvinnik stieß
Tal auf einen eisernen Gegner, der mit präziser psychologischer Berechnung
spielte. Auch einen so schrecklichen schachlichen Wirbelsturm vermag Botvinnik
schadlos zu überstehen.} g6 $3 {By giving up the pawn Botvinnik completely
changes the nature of the game.   Er gibt den Bauern ab und ändert
gleichzeitig den ganzen Charakter des Spiels. Aber hier erhebt sich eine nicht

nervously.   Nun kann Weiß seine ehrgeizigen Angriffspläne vergessen. Statt
dessen ist er gezwungen, sehr vorsichtig vorzugehen, da Schwarz im Mittelspiel
mit der Mehrfigur einen sehr gefährlichen Angriff organisieren könnte. Die
drei zusätzlichen Bauern von Schwarz sind weniger relevant, da keiner von

A rapid blindfold game (G/10) from the studio between Former world champion
Max Euwe (black) and the Russian Michail Botwinnik (white). The players have
each ten minutes time for reflection and do put from their head, without
seeing chessboard and playing chess piece. Chessplayer W.J. Mühring provides
the game commentary and keeps up, outside the face field of the players, the
party on a large chess-board.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 c5 5. Nf3 b6
