Mikhail Botvinnik (1911-1995) made a unique impression on chess
history. After victories at Moscow 1935 (shared with Flohr) and
Nottingham 193 (shared with Capablanca), Botvinnik won the
'absolute championship' of the USSR in 1941 before the war
interrupted all chess activity. After winning the match/tournament
of 1948 to decide Alekhine's successor, Botvinnik held the world
championship (apart form two brief interludes) until 1963 and
retired from active play in 1970, after which he devoted himself to
coaching young players 9his list of former pupils include Garry
Kasparov) and developing a chess-playing computer program.
