Dec-07-06 | | Maatalkko: For a time I lived at home and could only play bughouse during the 20-minute intervals when my dad went outside for a smoke. I was able to play two or three games a day and took them very intensely. Every night I would dream about bughouse; not seeing games, but only one or two move tactics. During this time my bughouse rating on FICS rose from around 1250 to 1550, going up a bit every day. After Christmas I got to 1550 and I began to doubt myself. After all, I had gained 300 points playing barely at all - I figured I was overrated. Thereafter I doubted myself and plateaued for awhile. The chess dreams stopped. I went back to school and played much more and ended up in the 1300's again. |

Jan-15-07 | | Zorts: Freud said "A dream is the fullfillment of a wish", thus Bronstein was probably playing Bobby Fischer in this dream. If Raquel Welch was his opponent then he would've postponed the chess game. |

 | | alexmagnus: Pitily I don't remember the exact moves of my dream game against Carlsen (see me profile). I only remember I resigned on move 52. |
|
Aug-25-08 | | dwavechess: 83% coincidences with rybka 2.3.2 at 14 ply with bronstein dream as black.Very high %. |
|
Sep-11-08 | | dwavechess: Down to 74% for Bronstein with rybka 3 w32 at 3 minutes per move, but perfect combination from move 7 |
|
Aug-16-10 | | Lil Swine: white played poorly like he put put his minor pieces on the same rank and got pinned by the queen |
|
Jan-20-11 | | MaxxLange: Alekhine would have claimed that this was a real game, at least Bronstein admits that it is a composition |
|
Jan-21-11 | | aliejin: < Alekhine would have claimed ..>
I do not know
Alekhine would claimed
about this game
I know Alekhine played countless
real game more beautiful than this composition |

Oct-10-12 | | TheTamale: Bronstein played better asleep than I do awake. |
|
Oct-10-12 | | sambo: Shouldn't it be David Bronstein vs. David Bronstein? |
|
Jan-07-13 | | Girkassa: I had a dream once where I was analyzing a game I had played for real a week ago. The game ended in a draw, but in my dream, I found a winning combination. When I woke up, I played through the game again and found that the combination would indeed have been winning. |
|
May-18-15 | | DanielHoseano: Well it should be David vs Bronstein |
|
Nov-18-15 | | NeverAgain: The idea that Bronstein composed this game in his sleep is a misunderstanding. According to Chess Notes 8946, which quotes "Sorcerer's Apprentice", it was a daydream composition:

Sep-30-16 | | yadasampati: I wondered if a chess player ever fell asleep during a game, looked it up, and actually found the following: "Drunken chess player Vladislav Tkachiev caught napping at tournament" https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2... |
|
Sep-30-16 | | Retireborn: Bobby Fischer famously fell asleep at the board once, I think. |
|
Sep-30-16 | | Pyrandus: I have a Dream! |
|
Sep-30-16 | | gars: Talking about asleep players I quote Edward Winter's "Kings if Chess", Dover Books, 1966, page 33. Siegbert Tarrasch was director of a Chess tournament. Informed by a horrified attendant that one of the spectators was asleep, Tarrasch hurried to the scene, but, after surveying the dull position and watching a few inept moves, he turned away with the remark: "Ah, an acute critic!" |

Sep-30-16 | | Marmot PFL: White would have to be sleeping to allow Qxf2+. |
|
Sep-30-16 | | kevin86: Dream for black; nightmare for white! |

Sep-30-16 | | Howard: A very questionable choice for GOTD !! |
|
Oct-05-16 | | Xeroxx: Excellent choice for GOTD. |
