Jan-28-04		lordhazol: 13 Nb5? is sensless.White needs to improvement.

May-03-04		Jim Bartle: Well, let's not look at this game as grandmaster chess. Botvinnik was 12 or 13, so Abramovic was probably around the same age as well.

May-03-04		Chesspatch: Imagine two wee little kiddies slugging it over the board... so adoring and refreshing is the impulsiveness of youth

Oct-01-07		eristoff: 22... xd2 is a pretty good combo for a 13-year-old. White should have attacked with 22.h4

Apr-12-08		outsider: abramovic was somewhere 16(+?). this was a game from the school championship. i read it annotated BY BOTVINNIK HIMSELF in a soviet magazine of somewhere in 1951. by the way, botvinnik lost their second game of that tournament. those two games were forgotten for some years, they met after some ten years and managed to reconstruct the first game, but failed with the second (source: botvinnik)

Jun-02-11		vonKrolock: <"8.g5> <Grisha remembered me from the previous school championship and wanted only to win the game as soon as possible. White's idea is simple: either black will overlook the mate on f7, or after 8...f6 9 e6 he will lose his queen!"> <20... ad8> click for larger view <"From the psychological point of view this move effectively decided the game. Grisha thought that he would easily 'smash' his opponent, and suddenly black sacrifices a piece! He was completely depressed and almost immediately he made> note:22.xf5 instead of, according to Botvinnik, 22.0-0 in the sequence) <an irreparable mistake."> (Quotes from <Botvinnik's Complete Games 1924-1941, by Mikhail Botvinnik, Moravian Chess 2010>), transcribed by Brian Almeida in his chesscafe.com rewiew of the book
