12...N5f6 Black plays too relaxed chess-it was clear that White plan
some space activity on the Queens flank,so it is necessary to stop it
immediately [12...a5!?] 13.b4 Be7 14.Nd4! Very useful exchange of
Bishops,after which it is becoming clear ,that weakness on c6 will very
serious. 14...Bxg2 15.Kxg2 Qc7 16.Qb3! White is ready to change
Queens,if necessary to better control c6 square 16...Rfc8 17.Rfc1 Qb7+

as it was said before-white changes every defender of c6 square.
18...Nd5 [Another way of development 18...Qxf3+ 19.N2xf3 Bf8 20.Nc6 Ne4
21.Rc2 Nec5 22.Rd1! Rxc6 23.Rxd7 Nxd7 24.Rxc6 and now Rook controls c6
square and c file totally.] 19.e4 N5f6 20.b5 a6 [Very difficult
position obtain Black after 20...Nc5 21.Nc6 h6 22.a4 a6 23.Bd4] 21.Nc6
Bf8 22.a4 Finally White fixed their grip over c6 square,plus White
gaine a lot of space .next step will be exposition of some weakness and
attack of it. 22...axb5 23.axb5 Rxa1 24.Rxa1 Ra8 Diagram

Black tries to reduce White pressure with the help of total exchanges
,but Botvinnik asvoids exchange of Rook,which will have important role
in the attack of any weakness. 25.Rd1! [25.Rxa8 Qxa8] 25...Ne8? Very
passive move which allows icreasing of Whites advantage. [Much better
was 25...Bc5 ] 26.Nc4 [Or iimmediately 26.e5 ] 26...Nc5 27.e5 Now it
asppears new threat Nc4-d6,and after exchange there White will obtain
dangerous passed pawn,. 27...Rc8 28.Ra1! Now rook changes direction and
penetrates seventh rank,as Black cant fight for the file 28...Rc7
[28...Ra8 29.Rxa8 Qxa8 30.Ne7+] 29.Ra7 Qxa7 Black decides to sacrifice
Queen,but it is too late. [29...Qc8 30.Nxb6] 30.Nxa7 Rxa7 31.Nxb6 1-0.
