📘 63.Ra5+??
Fedoseev's carelessness which costs him the game. This move causes the opponent king become closer to the e2-pawn.

📘 26.Re1!
Black has two weaknesses, a5, and f3 pawns. Botvinnik intends to attack f3 pawn with Re3 and Bg4 (if necessary). after deflection of opponent's pieces to the kingside, he can attack a5 pawn and catch it. (The Principle of Two Weaknesses)

📘 28.Qa5!
Botvinnik paralyzes all of the black pieces. Black's knight remains in danger. With this single factor as a catalyst, White's game blossoms with each passing move. blacks position will collapse soon.
28.Ra1? allows black to bring his bishop into the game with 28...Bb7.
