{The seventh world champion, Vassily Smyslov, is not often mentioned among the
greatest contributors to the progress of chess. The apparent simplicity of his
style gave the wrong impression to many analysts. In fact looking Smyslov's
victories at the height of his career one is always amazed by the lack of
comprehensive defence by his opponents. But a deeper look convinces us that
Smyslov's universal technique was simply superior to the resistance employed
even by the very strongest players of the early and mid fifties.  "I'll make
40 good moves and if you are able to match them the game is a draw" was said
to be Smyslov's motto. But his playing algorithms seemed to prevail. Only
Botvinnik's iron character enabled him to stay even with Smyslov after their
three matches - the greatest chess battle until the Karpov-Kasparov saga - in
1954 (12:12), 1957 (12.5:9.5 for Smyslov) and 1958: 12.5-10.5 for Botvinnik). 
 This game is a typical example of Smyslov's purity of style. The victim was
one of the strongest western players at the time.   Der siebte Weltmeister
Vassily Smyslov, wird nicht so oft genannt, wenn man die grosen Schopfer der
Schachgeschichte aufzahlt. Die scheinbare Einfachheit seines Stils machte auf
viele Analytiker einen falschen Eindruck. Tatsachlich, wenn man sich die Siege
Smyslovs auf dem Hohepunkt seiner Karriere anschaut, ist man verblufft, wie
wenig Widerstand durch die Gegner geleistet wurde. Schaut man aber ein wenig
tiefer, erkennt man, das sein universeller Stil einfach den
Verteidigungstechniken der damaligen Zeit - Anfang bis Mitte der funfziger
Jahre - uberlegen war.  "Ich mache 40 gute Zuge, und wenn du das ebenfalls tut,
ist die Partie remis" - das war angeblich das Motto von Smyslov.  Aber seine
Spielstrategie setzte sich trotzdem durch. Nur Botvinniks eiserner Charakter
konnte ihr widerstehen. Die drei Wettkampfe - der groste Zweikampf vor der
Karpov-Kasparov-Saga - endeten 12:12 fur Botvinnik (1954), 12.5:9.5 fur
Smyslov (1957) und 12.5-10.5 fur Botvinnik (1958).  Die folgende Partie ist
ein typisches Beispiel fur die Reinheit des Smyslov-Stils, das Opfer war einer
der starksten westlichen Spieler jener Zeit.  } 1. e4 1... e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5

Einzelganger konnte nie durch das Schutzschild der sowjetischen Grosmeister

von Moskau, war ich bei einem unvergeslichen Wettkampf zugegen: der 70jahrige
Smyslov spielte vier Schnellschachpartien gegen den 80jahrigen Reshevsky. Die
grosartige Veranstaltung endete 2-2 (ohne Remis!), es wurde mit groser Energie
von beiden Seiten gekampft. Glauben Sie mir, die Qualitat der Partien war sehr
hoch. Es war ergreifend, zu sehen, wie sehr Reshevsky das Schachspiel genos -
seine einzige und letzte Liebe. Einige Monate spater verstarb Sammy...} 1-0
