{The participant of this historic event, organized after the sudden death of
the reigning champion Alexander Alekhine in 1946, were Botvinnik, Euwe, Keres,
Symslov and Reshevsky. The Dutch ex-world champion was the only player in the
group that Botvinnik had never beaten before. So successful games against Euwe
were an important part of Botvinnik's triumphal race for the crown (in the end
the score of their micro-match was +2, =3, -0 for the Soviet champion).  Nach
dem plötzlichen Tod des amtierenden Weltmeisters Alexander Alekhine 1946
organisierte der Weltschachbund ein Match-Turnier zur Ermittlung seines
Nachfolgers. Die fünf Teilnehmer an dieser historischen Veranstaltung waren
Botvinnik, Euwe, Keres, Symslov und Reshevsky. In dieser Gruppe war der
holländische Ex-Weltmeister der einzige, den Botvinnik noch nie geschlagen
hatte. Insofern waren erfolgreiche Partien gegen Euwe ein wichtiger
Bestandteil von Botvinniks Sturm auf den Schachgipfel. Zum Schluß stand es im
Mikromatch gegen Euwe +2, =3, -0 für den sowjetischen Meister.} 1. d4 d5 2. Nf3

wird rasch zu einem dauerhaften Problem.} Nc5 {Understandably, Euwe wanted to
