	UNDER THE MICROSCOPE - Efim Geller
		Coming from Botvinnik, this was indeed high praise for Geller, a sort of recognition from the 'father' of Soviet chess of Geller's outstanding abilities...that in a perfect world he had all of the qualities necessary to shine above the rest.
		This seemed to be a life long trait with Geller, and should be seen as part of his style: constantly searching for the truth, 'the best move always!' Geller, like Korchnoi, sought to understand each of his opponent's moves, and this is hardly a practical thing to do with limited time.
		This difference between Geller and Spassky, however, is a purely pragmatic one, a type of factor more influenced by the choice of trainer than reflecting something more fundamental.

		Geller played every game to win, regardless of opponent or colour or even tournament situation.

		Efim Geller was one of the few Grandmasters (Tal and Janosevic being the other two) to have a winning record against Bobby Fischer.
		By Move 25, it was a drawn 4 Pawns vs. 3 (all on the same side) Rook ending.
		Kg3 was a simple drawing move that virtually anyone would have seen, but Geller, exhausted, had a hallucination.

	The chess games of Efim Geller
		He learned how to play chess as a young man, and arrived on the international scene quickly by qualifying as a World Championship Candidate in 1952, earning the grandmaster title in the process.
		I researched my limited sources and apart from Byrne all I found was Korchnoi on the Olympiad at Nice before the '74 Korchnoi-Karpov match: "two trainers were sent...Furman, and Karpov's other trainer, Geller, with whom he had already been working, although so far in secret".
		Also in Zurich and Curacao at least some games were fixed and Groningen i think 2 so fowl play and good contacts seem to have been a must to become Wch for the soviet players.

		Indeed, the historical smoke has cleared, and we know that Geller, Keres and Petrosian made a draw pact in the belief that Fischer was not yet so superior as to overcome team play against him.
		Not only had Spassky convincingly defeated Keres, Geller and Mikhail Tal in candidates matches, he had also played model chess in a universal style.
