Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-12-05  Resignation Trap: Botvinnik's summary on this game was rather lengthy: "2...c6 and then the triangle. When Lili played 5. Bg5 and invited the Scheltinga, 'Br' declined!!! It means that he did not understand and had not prepared anything significant there (apart from 12...Rg8) and after the game with Smyslov [in round two: Smyslov vs Bronstein, 1950 ] he was simply afraid of his opponents. But is he always afraid? Is he bluffing? Things ended in a Carlsbad (without ...a6) with ...Bd6 - this means he tried somehow to confuse matters. Was unable to free himself and had to play ...Be7. Exchanges followed. Lili did not plat f4, but b4 and a4. 'Br' immediately moved his rooks to the c-file (c7, c8) - overprotection a la Nimzowitsch!!! Avoided the exchange of queens and immediately a draw on move 22 in a position that was better for Lili. A cunning game."
Sep-12-05  Calli: "Melodramatic analysis by 'Bo'. No wonder he played so badly against 'Br' in 51."

- Calli's Blackberry Notes

Dec-07-08  Everett: Really, Botvinnik was always thinking in generalities, trying to fit Bronstein into some kind of neat box of chess style.
