This is perhaps one of the most interesting chess tournaments of the 20th century. The `famous five' tournament, held to establish a new world champion after the legendary Alekhine's death, pitted Botvinnik, Smyslov, Reshevsky, Keres and Euwe against each other (although Botvinnik was almost as far ahead of his competitors as Euwe was behind them) in a historic clash.
