Botvinnik: Move by Move

Mikhail Botvinnik was a three-time World Chess Champion and is widely regarded as one of the World’s greatest ever players. Botvinnik possessed a universal, all-round style with an emphasis on logic and strategy. He loved to attack but, in contrast to – for example – Mikhail Tal, his attacks did not appear out of nowhere. They were the result of a systematic build up and developed naturally from earlier strategic gains.
