World Championship: the Return Match Botvinnik vs. Smyslov 1958 - 2nd hand
Mikhail Botvinnik
Description
The writings of Mikhail Moiseevich Botvinnik (1911 – 1995) are legendary. ‘The Patriarch’ took professionalism in chess to a new level and set new standards for preparation.
Botvinnik successfully defended his title by drawing the first match in 1954, but the younger Smyslov won in 1957. Botvinnik bounced back with incredible resilience to win the third match, and regained ‘his’ world title.
‘Smyslov’s defeat had a psychological background – he underestimated his experienced opponent’ – Mikhail M. Botvinnik
