1.d4 {Notes by International Grandmaster Raymond Keene from
"Battle of Bonn", ISBN-13: 978-1-906661-01-4, 2008. ---
Traditionally, the title of world champion is decided by a
mano a mano battle between the world's two top players. This
format was recognised even in the early matches between
Staunton and St Amant and Morphy and Anderssen which predate
the widely accepted year [1886] from which the Championship
officially emanates. The sole expection to this rule hitherto
was 1948 when Alekhine's death as incumbent caused an
interregnum which necessitated a five man match tournament to
decide the destination of the title. The Soviet iron man
Mikhail Botvinnik won easily, ahead of Vassily Smyslov, Paul
Keres, Sammy Reshevsky and in last place the former world
champion Dr Max Euwe. Botvinnik raced away with the tournament
making a clear plus score against all his rivals. He
considered the following to be his best game.} d5 2.Nf3 Nf6

36.a4 {Black resigns. Almost 60 years after this game was
played, eight grandmasters assembled in Mexico City where they
were once again to decide the undisputed World Championship by
means of a tournament. This circumstance reflected the
resolution of the schism that had arisen in the chess world in
1993 and also the confusion surrounding Kasparov’s retirement
from world chess. The chosen ones were: world champion
Vladimir Kramnik, Viswanathan Anand, Peter Svidler, Alexander
Morozevich, Peter Leko, Alexander Grischuk, Lev Aronian and
Boris Gelfand. From this crucible, Anand emerged victorious,
and FIDE claimed that from 2008, the Championship would revert
to its traditional match format.} 1-0
