My father and I had a... contentious relationship in those times, but I was visiting him at the time, on his remote ranch (in Brazil) and we played along, moving the pieces as reported by the radio announcer and then spending the day arguing about the moves. Neither one of us were good players, but we had a mutual interest in the game, we studied the various openings until we'd mastered six or seven "basic" ones.

BTW, the name Botvinik... - Victor Khomenko 07:34:49 11/24/20 (0)
most likely stems from the name of a popular Russian soup, made using leafy part of the beets - hence some jokes, as normally that part is discarded.

Smyslov's name, OTOH, has its root in the word "smysl" meaning reason.

No wonder Smyslov won. :)
