#3 is Bronstein.

Are you sure?

Now that you mention it, I'm not. Tatiana Boleslavsky?

Correct!

Is #1 a female?

fburton

He isn't.

How about a hint for #1, like, "he was a WCC" or something.

Okay, #1 is hardest - very thin on clues, so here are a couple more... The writer is an English GM, and the closest he's gotten to the WCC is a couple of Candidates Tournaments.

#1 would be Speelman.

He would, congratulations! #1 is Jonathan Speelman in Learn From The Grandmasters.

Phew... my next 'Guess the author' (if there is a next one) will have more leads... unless Guessmeister Crazychessplaya wants to take up the baton again?

I give up. But, if you want obscure () may I add #5?
