Aug-12-09  UnicornChessman: Hm, after looking at Morphy games for several straight hours, I'm actually finding a game played by an ex World Champion rather dull, haha.

Quite well though...

Aug-12-09  MaxxLange: <UnicornChessman> Well, Robotsky and BottyVinny had been raised on Morphy games, among others, and they just didn't lose like that, for the most part. The whole standard of defense was so much higher by the time this game was played.

  sea7kenp: Xeroxx: This may be the only Game Botvinnik Annotated on this site, but I own a book by him, titled "Botvinnik, One Hundred Selected Games". It is a 1960 Dover edition, in Descriptive Notation (which I personally favor), of Games he played from 1926 to 1946. I find his Annotations instructive.
