Botvinnik probably invented every possible transposition out of the English Opening for Black. If he wanted to transpose to the Ruy Lopez or Kings Gambit against 1. P-QB4, he could do it. He was that good.

I love your descriptive commentary SammyChess. Your explanations of what is going on in the games is also reasonably understandable for a patzer like me. I am mystified why you don't have many more subscribers.

Thanks! Everyone opens up with e4 pawn. This opening takes alot of players off guard and gave me more ideas since I open up with c4 alot and learned a few of the lines via trial and error.

Really enjoyed this video. After a 17 year hiatus from chess and coming back and facing 8 year olds with vast book knowledge, the Botvinnik English was my savior.

Not going to lie, when I was ~13 or so, I started studying Botvinnik and his games and playing stuff he played and playing lines with Botvinniks name in them, my USCF rating skyrocketed. The guy figured it out.

Did i see wrong or isn't that just Botvinnik's photo reversed in place of his 4th opponent's? Wait, the 5th is a car, maybe all of them are a trap well set? Oh yeah, i just rechecked them and only Keres seems to have an image. Good one, Sam!
