      The classical Bruck-Slaby theorem (a commutative Moufang loop (CML) with \(n\) (\(n\geq 2\)) generators is centrally nilpotent of class at most \(n-1\)) was proved in its weakened version (any finite CML of period 3 is centrally nilpotent) by Yu. I. Manin (1972) and by J. D. H. Smith (1985). Now, the author gives a simple proof of the theorem: A finitely generated commutative Moufang loop is centrally nilpotent.
