I felt like this should be a David Bronstein day. It’s a typical position in many of his brilliancies. He’s a piece down, and his queen and two rooks are all under attack. Naturally, he blows the guy off the board. Be Bronstein!!


This was from the game, Bronstein-Vedder, Wijk Aan Zee, 1997: 1.Rd8+ Bf8 2.Rxf8+ Kxf8 3.Qb4+ Ke8 4.Rd8+ Kxd8 5.Qf8#
