How to Find ‘Stupid’ Brilliant Chess Moves

How can a stupid, unnatural move signal the beginning of a deep strategic plan and lead to the creation of a positional masterpiece? It sounds absurd—but that’s exactly what Andor Lilienthal managed to do against none other than the patriarch of Soviet chess and the future World Champion, Mikhail Botvinnik. As Lilienthal himself says in his interview, this game features an idiotic move that shocked Botvinnik and allowed Lilienthal to gradually squeeze him across the entire board. So, let’s dive into this remarkable game, which Lilienthal considered one of his greatest ever. Lilienthal vs Botvinnik, USSR Championship 1940 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 b6 4. g3 Bb7 5. Bg2 Be7 6.
