Sep-21-06		Resignation Trap: April 13-14, 1951 Before the game, Botvinnik's self-assuring comments in his journal: "Repeat everything - although everything will be significantly more difficult, since he will play more cautiously, impudently and better. Make a move when everything is clear! Let's go!"

Sep-21-06		Resignation Trap: Botvinnik kept his one-point lead in the match with this draw, but he was still displeased with his efforts. Here's what he had to say: "Played terribly - intended Bd2, then got frightened of the calculations and spoiled everything! And then bungled it."
