A World Chess Championship was played between Mikhail Botvinnik and Vasily Smyslov in Moscow from March 4 to May 9, 1958. Botvinnik won. Smyslov had unseated Botvinnik in the 1957 match, so he was entitled to this rematch a year later.
Results
The match was played as best of 24 games. If it ended 12-12, Smyslov, the holder, would retain the Championship.
