The AVRO tournament of 1938, sponsored by
a Dutch radio network, was a double-round affair among eight of the strongest players
in the world. The most memorable game of the event was
Botvinnik's victory over Capablanca. The
“Iron logician” systematically advances in the
center, inviting his opponent to capture an irrelevant
flank Pawn, and he caps his play with a brilliant
“diverting” sacrifice at move 30.
