Zurich 1953 round 26: Taimanov vs. Kotov

Alexander Kotov plays the Ragozin variation of the Queen’s gambit declined against Mark Taimanov. This game is notable for Taimanov’s creative positional play that ranges over the entire board. The modern game that I referenced in the video is Aronian-Anand from the 2015 Grenke Chess Classic: . From the book “Zurich International Chess Tournament 1953“, by David Bronstein.
