Aug-31-05  Resignation Trap: Botvinnik had words of praise for Bronstein's play here: "Sicilian, Boleslavsky Variation. Complete repetition of my Sverdlovsk game [ Botvinnik vs Boleslavsky, 1943 ]. Fish (following my recommendation) played 11...d5, to which 'Br' very cleverly replied 12. e5 Ne4 13. Bd3! (here we have a prepared system!). Black avoided the exchange on c3 and 'Br' very subtly gained the advantage. Then he played obviously for simplification and perhaps threw away the win, but did not lose the advantage.

On the resumption he skilfully and subtly exchanged the opponent's "weak" pawn in the center, cleared the board for his bishops and won on the 76th move! A good game! Tenacity.
