David Ionovich Bronstein was a Soviet and Russian chess player, born in 1924 and dead in 2006. FIDE awarded him the title of International Grandmaster in 1950, and in 1951 he narrowly missed becoming World Chess Champion when his match with Mikhail Botvinnik was drawn and the champion kept the title. He was one of the strongest players in the world from the mid 1940s into the mid 1970s, and his peers described him as a creative genius and a master of tactics. He was also a renowned chess writer, and his book on the Zurich International Chess Tournament of 1953 is widely considered one of the greatest chess books ever written.
