'If you play Botvinnik, it is even alarming to see him write his move down.  Slightly short-sighted, he stoops over his scoresheet and devotes his entire attention to recording the move in the most beautifully clear script; one feels that an explosion would not distract him and that examined through a microscope not an irregularity would appear.  When he wrote down 1.c2-c4 against me, I felt like resigning.'

-Hugh Alexander, 1909-1974
 International Chess Master
