King Indians attack does not require alot of memory. white can develop in isolation without devoting any attention at all to how black is proceeding. |

Botvinnik prepares a vigorous counterattack in the f-file, but the safest and best treatment is ..Rb8 followed by ..a6 shifting the weight of the struggle to the queen's side. |

9. Nc4 e5 10. c3 f5

rather too enterprising..sounder is 10..h6 followed by ..Be6 |

11. b4

a well found sacrifice ..the b-file is opened and white diminishes blacks' influence in the center by attackin the pawn on c5 |

Botvinnik relies on active defense. he hopes to meet 19. Rxb7 with 19..Bxe3 20. fxe3 Na6 followed by ...Nc5 |

whites material advantage is of little importance, as black can easily regain his pawn. |
