Why not David Bronstein ??

Hello everyone !

Everyone  talk a bout Bobby Fischer Tal Morphy Alekhine Karpov Kasparov etc sure they are great.

But David Bronstein should not be forgotten !!! , I like to study his games his style is diffrent , but still he is a very strong amazing player. 

Post your favourite Bronstein game, by way of illustration.

Here's a cracker:

Mikhael Tal was a freat fan of Bronstein...

In his Winning Chess combinations he devotes quite a bit of space to "Bronstein's move" (in the Rook mate section.

Not a game, but a link to the Chessbase obit with an added bonus - a short video of "Seirawan on Bronstein" at the bottom of the article.

 Thanks for the great games , it's still unfair they did cheat Bronstein should be a world champion

That was one awesome puzzle! (I didn't find the right move...)

So once again, I start to think, why not Qd8! It instantly wins too right? After Rxd8 Rxd8#.

But what I failed to see at first is what Tal and Bronstein recognized instantly.

The possibility of Qc8 by white and black is back to the drawing board.

If you can find his book on the Zurich Tournament in algebraic then it would be a really good study resource. 

Yes, once you see Qf1 you think how you can deflect the queen from there.

First I looked at sacrificial bishop moves, but it didn't work, then noticed the b2 pawn is pinned. It suddenly becomes clear that neither the rook nor the queen can retake on a3, and the solution is clear.

I'm around 2000 on TT though, 2100 on a good day, so I still have a lot of patters to learn :P

When you read the sorcerers apprentice, you learn for always that greatness sits on the inside. Bronstein did not look like a hero, but he was.

haha, thanks, great little clip. I even felt a little like  for Kasparov in this clip. He lights up and actually is a tiny bit charming talking about Bronstein.
