{when Black places a knight at f6 and has fianchettoed the bishop at g7, then
this is usually the appropriate strategy.} 8... f5 9. h5 fxe4 10. hxg6 { But
this is overambitious. White should simply have recaptured at e4.} 10... hxg6

forces into the game quickly.} 12. Nc3 Qa5 13. Bd2 Qe5+ 14. Ne3 O-O-O 15. Qa4
{Black has completed development, and White has not, so it is time for the
action to begin.} 15... Ng4 16. Rxh8 Rxh8 17. Qb5 {White wants to reduce the
pressure by exchanging queens but Botvinnik will not cooperate.} 17... Qf4 18.
