- In game 21 of 1951 World Chess Championship Match David Bronstein finally played his favorite King's Indian Defense. He desperately needed a victory and chose an original opening strategy. He made 5 consequent moves, that had a single purpose - to confuse the world champion. Mikhail Botvinnik fell into this psychological trap, and instead of making natural moves, played inaccurately and weakened his queenside. These mistakes let Bronstein seize the initiative and start a strong attack on the queenside. Bronstein equalized the score in the match by weaving a mating net in the endgame.

Thank you sir I hope your channel gets the respect it deserves!
My pleasure, sir. Thank you for your kind words.
Great job, your vidéos are amazing.
Brilliant play by Bronstein. Excellent work in waiting for Botvinnik to err and finding the weakness (b2) and managing to win it. Then his very active pieces threatened to win more material, disorganizing Botvinnik’s army and misplacing his king, resulting in further pressure and further material gain.
Very excellent strategic game. Looking forward to the next one.
Psychology, I am surprised that the Patriarch allowed Boronstein to get into his head after the leadership and psychologically break him, that is, lead him to defeat!
Yes, it seems the Patriarch was tired after playing 20 games against such a young, resourceful and dangerous tactician.
Can you suggest list of books To improve my chess, my rating is 1744, i want To learn more about strategy and positional play.
I'm not sure about the list, but I can recommend my favorite book - David Bronstein, Zurich International Chess Tournament, which is considered one of the best books on chess. I actually like all books by Bronstein, they are deep and give insight into the essence of chess strategy and tactics. I also recently read Isaac Lipnitsky's "Questions of Modern Chess Theory" and quite liked it too.
