The Grandmaster
Nigel Davies

Bronstein -- One Cool GM, by Nigel Davies
One of the most inspiring sights I have witnessed is that of Chess
Grandmaster David Bronstein in serious time-trouble (eg 10
moves to make in a minute). He sat at the board
completely unruffled, calmly making his moves AND
WRITING THEM DOWN! And the moves were so exact, so
precise and so subtle. Truly amazing to see.
Once you're down to 5 minutes the rules permit you to
catch up with the score sheet once you've reached the
time control. But Bronstein, to my knowledge, has
never availed himself of this concession.
