Secret Notes
David Bronstein, one of the world's great players of the 20th century, drew a match for the world championship and was victorious in numerous international events. He was also one of the most original thinkers in the history of chess: rapidplay tournaments, clocks with the addition of a certain time after every move, his own version of random chess - these are just a few of the ideas that have sprung from his fertile imagination.
