| Rubenus: I got it! I got a Saturday puzzle! And in less then 10 seconds! The first time I solve a Saturday. Thanks cg.com for the nice puzzle and game. |

| Ch3ckmate: incredible! |

| MenisfromVenis: What a beauty! It's obvious white is in trouble, Rs disconnected, Q guarding a dangerous pawn and so on. Black's R on g file hints at possibilities, pawn on h3 offers mating threats, but how do you do it?
Bronstein: I'll just sac a couple of pieces and smash my way through. Absolutely brilliant. |

| Chess Carnival: I saw the fisrt two moves just like <ReikiMaster> said <First moves are the kind we have learned to expect from puzzles.>. Also, there was nothing else in the position.. Then, I was too lazy to find the tough continuation.. a Beautiful one! I'm starting to understand why this variation is named after Bronstein ;-) |

| MaxxLange: the clearance sac ...Bd3 was my main line within seconds, and I saw that a rook sac on g1 could then be strong, but Lord! Bronstein calculated that stunning crosscheck, plus who knows how many side variations. Just beautiful chess. |

| MaxxLange: It's easy to guess the first move if you know that B was looking to sacrifice for thumping chances in every game, especially in this kind of mess. |

| WarmasterKron: Beautiful, and I missed it completely. I decided the rather unspectacular 27...Ba5 gave White problems, and left it at that. |

| alexmagnus: Yahaaaaaaaaaaa first time in my life I got the saturday puzzle!!!! |

| Sularus: Well, the variation was named after him. I wonder if it was already named that when the game was played. |

| mig55: I looked at 27...Qd4 and it wins too, but not so nice... |

| Themofro: Brilliant game by Bronstein, like always. I got Bd3 and Rg1 but was a bit fuzzy on a couple variations from that point, incredible job by Bronstein to calculate it all out over the board like that, and to stick to it even though there were easier ways to win, reminds me of Alekine, always looking for beautiful ways to win even if the game was already won. Good puzzle to go with a great game |

| al wazir: Yes, Bronstein could attack like Tal. See Mutchnik vs N Bakulin, 1967 for another example. |

| TopaLove: I GOT IT! I AM SO SMART!
It seems Bronstein was better playing as black. |

| blair45: I got 27. ...Bd3, but missed 28. ...Rg1, which really frosts the cake! |
|

| zb2cr: Thought that 28. ... e2 threatening mate was better. Then 29. Ng3, Qf2; 30. Rxe2 stops the threatened mate. Better luck next time. :( |

| greensfield: Got 27...Bd3 but then went down 28...e2 in response to 27.Qxd3 and got nowhere really. After looking at the solution, congratulated myself on finding 27...Bd3! but alas missed 28...Rg1+! |

| notyetagm: <goldfarbdj: ... According to it, this game against Bakulin was played in the 32nd Championship, held in Kiev from 1964/12/25 to 1965/1/27;> Well, then that means that this Bakulin vs Bronstein game was played in the exact same tournament (1964 USSR Championship at Kiev) as the famous Kholmov vs Bronstein game! Definitely go check that game out if you have not seen it before. It is included in Nunn et alia's "World Greatest Chess Games". So in one round Bronstein -wins- with a brilliant combination against Bakulin, while in another round he -loses- to a brilliant combination and incredibly well-played game by Kholmov. Incredible.

| dzechiel: Found 27...Bd3 after a minute or so. As soon as I started to consider the move it became obvious that this was the key, just too much good stuff happening. I wanted to continue with 28...e2, but I will defer to Bronstein. |

| GannonKnight: I found 27. ... Bd3, but got too caught up in 28. ... e2 to see Rg1!!. Great move and combination! |

 |
| kevin86: Still yet another great attack by Bronstein! This time,he gives up rook and piece to gain a series of discovered checks and crosschecks! |

| An Englishman: Good Evening: My goodness--I solved this one. The entire game is a fine example of what draws people (including me) to this odd-looking but dangerous variation of the Caro-Kann. |

| peterh105: White sure got in trouble in a hurry. He should have played Bd3 and exchanged the white B's followed by ND2 and trying to bring the N to e4 or at least contest e4. Kh1 and Re1 were wasted. He doesn't mind dropping the b pawn since then he can prepare c4. Whatchathink? |
