๐ 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.

๐ 27.h4!!
A very instructive move by Botvinnik. White seeks to create a stationary target on h5 and also induce overextension. Kasparov says, "Forcing new weaknesses on the kingside. Now Black's defensive lines are breaking apart, his passive pieces cannot operate effectively all over the board."
