Jul-25-05  Resignation Trap: Botvinnik in his personal notebook on Bronstein: "Like my game with Alekhine 1938, led to a Queen's Gambit Accepted, with an energetic combination cleared the center (!), maintained a good position, won with the first trick! On the 33rd move. Very accurate. But the opponent played the opening feebly."

See: Botvinnik vs Alekhine, 1938 .

  plang: After 7..Nc6 the game has transposed into a main line of the Queens Gambit Accepted (it took an extra move to reach the position with this move order). 13..Nd7? was a mistake. 13..Be7?! had been played twice previously but doesn't seem to solve Black's problems; 13..Bb7 has been suggested as an improvement. 30..Rb6? lost quickly but Black could not have saved the position in any event.
