⚫️#189 (Strategy-Black to Move)
🔸Petrosian,Tigran V
🔸Botvinnik,Mikhail
🔸World-ch24 1963

📕 12...g6!
In the Carlsbad structure, black should attack on the kingside. therefore Botvinnik insists on a fight and prepares the disruptive ...h6-h5-h4.
12...Na6? 13.Bxa6 bxa6 14.Rc1 and white is strategically winning.
12...b6 playing on the queenside only helps white and weakens the c6-pawn.
