Which is your favorite Botvinnik game?
It has to be Botvinnik vs Capablanca, Avro 1938

Black against Troianescu, Budapest 1952. Troianescu didn’t know what he was doing on the White side of a Grunfeld, and resigned on move 23. To show why he was winning, Botvinnik analyses the position out to move 46 and then proves that his King & 2 Pawn vs. King & 2 Pawn ending is won because of an endgame study solution.
I would have loved to have watched that postmortem!
I suppose the one that impressed me most was his win over Keres in 1966 at the Alekhine Memorial in Moscow.
Botvinnik vs Portisch Monaco 1968
Definitely Botvinnik vs. Capablanca, AVRO 1938, which Botvinnik himself described as the game of his life. I’m sure Capablanca, who thought very highly of Botvinnik almost enjoyed it as well.
Botvinnik vs Tal , all their games, all are WC games..reason? too much Romance..simple as that
