Bronstein was obsessed with certain endgames, like king, rook and four pawns vs king, rook and three pawns, with three pawns on the kingside and White having an extra passed pawn on b6, with his rook in front of the pawn.

David Ionovich Bronstein (born February 19, 1924) is renowned as a leading chess grandmaster and writer.
Described as a creative genius and master of tactics by pundits and plaudits the world over, David Bronstein provides ample evidence that chess should be regarded as part science, part art.
In latter years, Bronstein has continued to play chess at a good level and has inspired young and old alike with endless simultaneous displays, a warm, gracious attitude and glorious tales of his own, rich chess heritage.

Bronstein was excused military service due to poor eyesight, and used the war years to hone his chess skills.

David Ionovich Bronstein was born in the small town of Belaya Tserkov in Ukraine in 1924 but soon moved with his family to Kiev, where he joined the local chess club after good results in tournaments at school.
After 22 of the 24 games had been played, however, Bronstein was one up and looked set to capture the title, but a loss and a draw in the last two games left the match tied, and Botvinnik retained his title.
Bronstein announced himself satisfied that he had achieved his goals in the 1951 match: to show that his style of fluid, creative chess was fully up to the task of coping with Botvinnik's rigorous scientific approach.

 Susan Polgar Chess Blog: RIP GM David Bronstein
David Ionovich Bronstein was born 19 February 1924 in Bila Tserkva, near Kyiv, Ukraine.
David Bronstein was a genius & he should have taken the World Champion title from Botvinnik if not for something about the challenger needing more than one point lead to take the title.
Bronstein, on the contrary, tried to obtain unstable, dynamic position with many tactical possibilities, often by doubling, even tripling, his pawns (in Bronstein's hands, doubled pawns were advantage, rather than weakness).

David Bronstein, who died on Tuesday aged 82, was a leading Soviet chess grandmaster and writer; like Viktor Korchnoi, he was often described as the greatest player never to have won a world championship.
Bronstein's serious manner was belied by a ready smile, and he was held in particular affection among chess cognoscenti for his unaffected love of the game and his commitment to explaining its higher mysteries to the average player.
A second cousin to Leon Trotsky, David Ionovich Bronstein was born on February 19 1924 at Bila Tserkva, near Kiev, in the Ukraine.

In the latter, Bronstein lists 36 standard moves for the fl pieces and 24 key moves for the fl pawns, followed by 36 standard moves for the white pieces and 24 key moves for the white pawns.
Bronstein, unlikely many other famous grandmasters, does not have problems with his ego and therefore he gives games which he lost if he believes that they are interesting.
Bronstein on the King's Indian is not an opening book as we know them, and it won't give you a complete picture of the KID, although Bronstein's excellent games will surely help you to understand this opening better.

 how to build your chess opening repertouire
David Bronstein is a chess giant, and he, along with Boleslavsky, Najdorf and Gligoric did much to initially develop the dynamism that still breathes life into this defense.
I like the fact that Bronstein summarizes the key lessons from each game and has picked games that help shed light on the key features of this opening.
The book also includes an additional 64 games without notes (which aren't all that useful to the average player), and a quiz (which I think is poorly placed too early in the book for a player who may not already be very familiar with the defense).

 Bronstein On the King's Indian
Part three is even better: Bronstein gives us 36 standard moves of the Black pieces (telling us where they go and why they go there), 24 standard moves of the Black pawns, 36 standard moves of the White pieces, and 24 standard moves of the White pawns.
However, Bronstein apparently lost interest here, and fills the rest of the book up with his own KID games.
Bronstein played this opening magnificently, and many of these games are truly wonderful.

 ChessBase.com - Chess News - Bronstein's fateful 23rd game
In 1951 David Bronstein, playing a challenge match against reigning world champion Mikhail Botivnnik, needed just one point from the last two games to become world chess champion.
Bronstein was an energetic player, hs creative and unexpected ideas on the board presented a stark contrast to the "chess as science" trend pushed by Botvinnik, the patriarch of the Soviet chess school.
Though Bronstein went on to have a successful career, winning many Soviet and international tournaments, he will likely be remembered more for what he didn't accomplish rather than what he did.

 Chessville Reviews - Match for the World Chess Champioinship: Botvinnik – David Bronstein, Moscow 1951- by Mikhail ...
They are adequate, but placing the writing at the side of such players as Bronstein, “the Daffy Duck of chess,” and Tal, “the Wizard of Riga” (and no lame author himself), Kramnik’s writing comes off like his play in the Berlin Defense to the Spanish Game.
Bronstein is “[a] typical scheming (not impetuous) player,” among other things, “[a] neurasthenic and he probably suffers from fixed ideas, but very hard-working” – the insights run for a page and a half, and probably kept translator Ken Neat on his toes.
Unfortunately, the source of none of the annotations is given, and comments such as “as Bronstein points out in his comments” – without giving any reference – are needlessly teasing in their incompleteness.

One thing that took a star from the book rating is he's NOT the author; the author uses him as a consultant and uses most games from Bronstein in the book.
