  keypusher: 34. Be2 Qd4 wins. Botvinnik, who won many games on the white side of the Exchange Slav, here plays an interesting game with Black against it.

  stoy: 31 Rf3 is not check, contrary to the score. These training games of Botvinnik were secret while he lived. Now they are in CS's database.
Mar-14-10  vortex: Petrosian's ninth move is quite nice if Qxb2 then Na4 would have trapped Botvinnik's Queen.
