Bronstein, David
David Bronstein came within half a point of becoming World Champion in 1951, drawing his match against Botvinnik 12-12, which allowed the champion to retain his title. One of the most creative and original thinkers in chess history, his masterpiece "Zurich 1953" -- an annotated account of the greatest tournament of the twentieth century -- remains one of the most influential chess books ever written.
