Jul-23-05		Eric6312: In Amatzia Avni's book "Chess Psychology" he says that the Soviet ambassador to Argentina was watching the game and that Bronstein had told the ambassador beforehand that he would sacrafice his queen in his honor. Almost like Babe Ruth calling his shots!

Aug-28-08		GrahamClayton: Bronstein also mentions this on page 57 of "The Sorceror's Apprentice".
