There's a remarkable variation after 45...Kg8: 46.Nxc3 Qxc3 47.Qf6!!. Black can't take the queen and has no good answer to the threat of Qd8+. I wonder if Botvinnik saw the combination. He didn't put this effort in <100 Selected Games> or <Best Games 1925-41>.

Aug-25-16  Everett: Nice find <key pusher> thanks
Aug-14-17  Toribio3: Botvinnik is genius!
