zeitlebens nur Amateur blieb, konnte er dennoch mit der Weltspitze mithalten.
Unzicker pflegt(e) einen klassischen, gradlinigen Stil, wovon sich auch der
Verlierer der nachfolgenden Partie überzeugen konnte. Dies war kein geringerer
als Mikhail Botvinnik, der gerade den Weltmeister-Titel durch seinen Sieg im
Revanchematch gegen Mihail Tal zurückerobert hatte.} 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3
