Oct-18-08  Sem: A real grandmaster, Bronstein.
Jul-18-09  jips64: A funny game, position after move 15 is quite unusual.
Jan-20-10  Everett: After move 10, look at black's development!

  Tabanus: Bronstein ended 5th in the Open NOR Ch 1990 (with +4 =5), see crosstable in Norsk Sjakkblad, Nr. 3/90, p. 7.

His remaining 8 games there are not in Norbase, and may be lost.

  An Englishman: Good Evening: Not sure I would ever want to grant a former world Number 2 the odds of both Rooks and a Knight. Both Rooks, perhaps, but not the Rooks *plus* a Knight.

  OhioChessFan: The pun is a lot more clever than usual, though a lot strained. I'm glad the game page captures the German double S with the appearance of an English B. The homepage game title garbles it.

  HeMateMe: Great pun! I love bronstein's games. He's Tal's uncle, you know...
Oct-24-23  goodevans: White was in such disarray that Bronstein could have won a piece with 9...g5 (if 10.Bxg5? then 10...Ra8). What he played though was even stronger and much more entertaining.
Oct-24-23  BxChess: Many, many years ago when I was a PhD student I received a reprint request from a German academic named Bloss. In my ignorance I replied `Dear Professor Blob...'
