{I appeared for this game wearing a dinner-jacket and black elasticated bow

revealed that after Botvinnik's 26th move the elastic snapped, leaving my bow
tie dangling at an absurd angle, a fact of which I was oblivious during the
game - Keene} 1. Nf3 g6 2. c4 Bg7 3. d4 Nf6 4. g3 O-O 5. Bg2 c6 6. O-O d6 7.
