Aug-27-10   ozmikey: Surprised there are no comments on this superb Botvinnik game.

16...Bh4! paralyses White on the kingside - after 17. Bxf8 Nxf8 Black can easily win the exchange back (if he wants) with the double threat of ...f4 and ...Bg5.

Then, once the White king gets stranded on the queenside, the way Botvinnik gradually picks open its defences (including the thematic sac 31...e4!) is lovely to watch.
