      A lot of the Soviet old guard that dominated the game for 70 years were based (Kasparov excluded). Especially Botvinnik, that guy was incredibly based.

          Botvinnik’s funny little pawn structure against the English

          The anti-Perfidious Albion?

          In all seriousness - I’m a chess player but I don’t know what you mean. What do you mean?

            Its a variant of the English, the pawn structure is the one white has in this opening https://www.chess.com/openings/English-Opening-Botvinnik-System (which I don’t play, which is probably why I got it confused as a response to the English as black, my bad)
