I strongly disagree about the rhyming of suspicion and collusion.

Oh yeah, you’re right. Sorry, my bad :(

"He won the title"

• In a tournament where his compatriots colluded to help him.

False.

"defended it against Bronstein"

• In a rigged match. Bronstein was not allowed to win.

False. Bronstein himself said it wasn't rigged.

hello

Botvinnik won the 1948 World Championship tournament because of 4 wins against Keres and in absence of Fine and Najdorf.

Bronstein drew the 1951 World Championship match against Botvinnik 12-12 so Botvinnik retained his title, but look at the games:

At the end Bronstein thought for 45 minutes and resigned.
In the final game Bronstein played right into Botvinnik's pet line

You’re just repeating what you said, just like in the Karpov vs. Fischer thread ._.

I provide the games, so everybody can see for themselves.

'Look at the games' isn't evidence.

Team Fischer.

Bro you have to explain why you’re team Fischer.

This table gives peak Fischer 60-40 against peak Botvinnik and 56-44 against peak Karpov.
