If this book had contained games of a later date i would not hesitate to give it five stars, as for now I would like to give it four and a half if that was possible.
If you have to choose between this and Tal's book on the title match in 1960 I would definetly go for Tal's book, which has better prose and fresher material. However, this is a very good book as far as the study of chess-technique goes, and definetly worth the bargain price.
The annotations of Botvinnik are notable in their definitiveness - which contrasts, for example, with the more 'balanced' annotative style of Keres - that some might find dogmatic but which I found helpfully conclusive.
A long time has passed since those days, and the names of the players will mostly be unfamiliar. The openings, too, may seem old-fashioned - but there is value in this. It's a chance to learn exactly what does happen if you play such-and-such a move, which nobody does nowadays. Moreover, Botvinnik's methodical building up of positional advantages has never been bettered and will reward patient study. Just where it looks most effortless, that is where the magic is hidden!
