Mar-10-08  suenteus po 147: I can see where Lilienthal gets into big trouble with 27...Kg8, but where is Botvinnik's overwhelming advantage if Andre were to play 27...Bxg5?

  keypusher: <suenteus> Maybe 28. Rxe8 Rxe8 29. fxg5 Nf7 30. Nxf5 gxf5 31. Qf3? I wish I still had my copy of Botvinnik's 100 Selected Games.
Mar-10-08  suenteus po 147: <keypusher> That line looks as if it serves, though I was expecting something a position a little more conspicuously winning :)

I have a Botvinnik book, but unfortunately it only covers 1947-1970.
