The move was for the first time played by Viacheslav Ragozin in 1935. Then among the top players, Boby Fischer employed it in 1960. Today, players such as Radjabov and Tiviakov are also fans of the line.

Botvinnik demonstrated a high degree of chess understanding.
The king belongs on g2. Leaving the rook on h1 makes sense both aggressively and as a safety precaution.

White has to act quickly in order to exploit the exposed position of the black king. It's nice that white's king-side expansion forced black's forces into bad positions which then enables a central breakthrough. Textbook stuff!
