| aw1988: LOL, Ne7+ Rxe7. Well well, that was dumb. |
|

| aw1988: No. Ne7+ Qxe7. |

| WMD: Yes, but 27...Qxb8 28.Ne7+ Rxe7 29.Qxh4 would be the equivalent of kicking sand in the opponent's face. |

| notyetagm: Wow, a great <removal of the guard> combination: 27  b8+!!  xb8 28 xh4  g5 29  xg5 d8 30 h7+  f8 31 h8#. Notice how critical it is that the White d5- controls the e7 square, the Black king's flight square off of the back rank. <Controlling the e7(e2)-square is often critical for the success of an attack down the h-file>, else the enemy king simply runs away. |

| n30: this is a great game with surprisingly few posts. <cg>: this would make a nice puzzle (?)
I for once would have never thought of b8 - then again, I'm no GM, IM or whatsoever-M ;)~ |

| ughaibu: If you read the "surprisingly few posts" you'll see it has already been a puzzle. |

| TalEl: A lot of maneuvering and then bang! 27.Rb8! |

| DeepBlade: This game looks like the Overprotection Immortal, the attack suddenly pops out, of an (extremely compicated) position. |

| chancho: 18 years later,(from 1948) and Botvinnik is still kicking poor Keres's ass. |

| sixfeetunder: What is the purpose of 18.Kg1 and 21.Kh2? To wait for Black to reveal his plan? |
|
| Jun-18-06 |
| WMD: Yes, waiting for Keres to be finally persuaded of the wisdom of throwing the game. |

| sixfeetunder: <Yes, waiting for Keres to be finally persuaded of the wisdom of throwing the game.> Can you prove that? |

| plang: Why can't people accept that Botvinnik was a really tough opponent for Keres. Look at the game in the 1941 absolute russian championship where Botvinnik massacred Keres with the black pieces for instance. |

| ughaibu: I think the chances that WMD wasn't joking are infinitesimal. |
|

| exchangesacrifice: After Botvinnik had moved 27.Rb8, Keres fell from his chair. |

| sleepyirv: Uhh... isn't 28.Ne7 Kh8 29.Qh4# the quickest mate? |

| WhiteRook48: 7 d4 I think is better |

| parisattack: I suspect this was prepared analyis by Botvinnik, as Keres liked ...Bc5 in the Reverse Sicilian English. Anyone have game backgrounder? Botvinnik played some of his finest games after losing the World Championship. |

| totololo: It was known that Nothing could infurate Botvinnik more then a carelessly sacrifice .... I'll show you! So , he constructed nicely , in the closed position , the final combination. Look how Nd5 and Be3 control the black squares on the diagonal d8-h4. The queen moved d2-f2 innocently. A little pawn went to g6. Nothing important .... Opening the B column , the final blow Rb8 and everything play the black TE DEUM! |

| sfm: Seems that Black should not have played 24.-,Ra7 ? |
|
| Jun-06-09 |
| ski: i know it's a couple of years late, but the king move to g1 was probably done simply to get the king off of the black bishop's diagonal. in any event, this is one of my favourite games Boty engineered. |

| Travis Bickle: I think Botvinnik played the most creative and precise English opening of any GM! |

| whiteshark: <exchangesacrifice: After Botvinnik had moved 27.Rb8, Keres fell from his chair.> Only metaphorically speaking, I hope. |
