Hi i would like to know if studying philosophy and life and games of Botvinnik (former world champ) can help a chess player to get improve a little more.
What do you mean by studying philosophy and life? Botvinnik was clearly an amazing player and taught Kasparov to become a GM.
There is loads to learn from the old legends.
Hi Tim, i mean method of trainibg of Botvinnik, his preparation against opponents etc
There's a famous story about how Botvinnik would get people to blow smoke in his face to prepare him for tournaments. Such dedication to winning is kind of inspiring.
Check out:
Mikhail Botvinnik vs Lajos Portisch - Monte Carlo 1968.
In my opinion, it's one of the most famous games of chess that was ever played.
