	ChessBase.com - Chess News - Long on talent but short on ambition
		Isaac Boleslavsky was a Ukrainian grandmaster who came within a hair's breadth from challenging Botvinnik, losing narrowly in the Candidates Finals to his future son-in-law Bronstein.
		Boleslavsky’s appearance in the 1953 Candidates was in a way similar, as he would outplay his opponents on a regular basis, but slip up time after time.
		Boleslavsky achieves an advantageous isolated queen pawn position on the White side of a Queen's Gambit Accepted, and the way he makes use of this advantage with a well-timed d4-d5 break is instructive to anyone who plays either side of a typical isolani position.

	The chess games of Isaac Boleslavsky
		Isaac Efremovich Boleslavsky was born on June 9, 1919 in Zolotonsha.
		He learned chess at the age of nine, but it was not until after World War II that he first made a name for himself with second place in two consecutive Soviet championships.
		After this near-miss, Boleslavsky played in another Candidates' tournament in 1953, and then devoted his chess ability more toward coaching and serving as a "second" to his fellow Soviet players.

		Boleslavsky (1919-1977) was a Ukranian grandmaster long on talent but rather short on ambition.
		In 1950, he was leading the first Candidates' event by a point over Bronstein with just two rounds to go, but a pair of quick draws allowed his friend to catch him for first.
		That should give some idea of how strong Boleslavsky was; as for his lack of ambition, his -1 score in the 1953 Candidates' tournament, in which his lax play threw away half point after half point, followed by never coming close to qualifying again should suffice to demonstrate that as well.

	Arnold Denker vs Isaac Boleslavsky (1946)
		Players like Boleslavsky and Bronstein were only too happy to crush white players with their King's Indian's in the 40's and 50's.
		For example, David Bronstein and Isaac Boleslavsky showed in the King's Indian Defense how White could be allowed a free rein to occupy the center by advancing the c-, d-, e-, and even f-pawns.
		: I would argue that Boleslavskys excellent results with the KID at Groningen, coupled with Bronstiens brilliant wins with the "old" indian against Pachman and Zita,were the biggest revolution in the closed game since Nimzo "invented" the Nimzo(yes, iknow, he was just improving on Wyvill),and maybe even since Pillsbury invvented the Pillsbury attack.

		And if points #4 or #5 are true, then Botvinnik lied when he claimed "I never intrigued." Ironically, and surprisingly, Bronstein even says string-pulling gave him the title shot in the first place.
		"Isaac Boleslavsky was leading in the [1950] Candidates Tournament but after a talk with [Soviet Chess Federation head] Boris Vainstein he decided to slow down to allow me to tie for first place with him," (p.
		Bronstein, with a politically tainted father, and a winning record (+1 =1) against Botvinnik at the time, would appear to have been less desirable than the politically clean Boleslavsky, who couldn't beat Botvinnik with a stick (+0 -7 =4 through 1950).

	David Bronstein vs Isaac Boleslavsky (1950)
		I don’t think the unassuming Boleslavsky really wanted a vicious battle with Botvinnik against whom he had never won a game at that point.
		As I said, there are many aspects of this game which are amazing, especially when one considers what was at stake.
		I would speculate that they might have agreed to a draw in advance and then let it rip.
