drukenknight: YOu know I was reading the other day about the "Botvinnik rule" and I think botvinnik was claiming it was a way to prevent sort of "accidental" champions by virtue of winning on a blunder. Something like that. Which sounded strangely like Fischer and the 10 games/have to win by

drukenknight: It looks like 27 h5 might be the decisive blunder after that it looks hard to avoid material loss..

drukenknight: the best idea is to look up and study your opponents eyes. Whatever one he is looking at: move the other one. Works every time.
