  saffuna: Analyzed in "Sorcerer's Apprentice," game 49 of "50 games with comments."

At first Bronstein thought 16 ...Qa7 was a transmission error, it was so strange. Then he saw 17 Rxc7 Bd6 followed by exchanges would lead to a good endgame for black.

  Fusilli: Bronstein had overwhelming attack. 34.Ne6+ seems to let it vanish. The computer says 34.Qxh5 instead. I am not looking at the complications.

  saffuna: <fusilli> Bronstein said he thought DT would resign around move 32. He says 33. f6 would have won easily, but thought 33. Bd5 was just as good.

  Sally Simpson: I had a 2nd hand copy of "Sorcerer's Apprentice," by Bronstein and Tom Fürstenberg in my hands about fours hours ago. £2.99. I already have a well thumbed copy. I left it there for some other treasure seeker to find. When I got home I dug out my copy.

As mentioned above Bronstein notes up this game.

Before 17.Rxc7 with Rxf7 and Rxg7+ in mind. He was unsure if it worked but went for it anyway.

"I personally think that people should trust their own intuition more."

(on page 192 when discussing another game, Tom Fürstenberg says: I have never been able to catch David Actually calculating variations. I really believe that most of his moves were made by intuition and of course, based on a wealth of experience.)

In this threads game Bronstein considered resigning on move 46 but wanted to see if he and the computer could compose a nice finish! He was one of a kind.
