[Below is my translation from Spanish of an interview from pages 38-42 of the March 1993 Revista Internacional de Ajedrez]

Interviewer: "What of the match with Botvinnik? Did they pressure you to lose?"

Bronstein: "There wasn't direct pressure, naturally. But there were circumstances, like my father, an explicit opponent of the regime, who had been in prison for several years; the fact that I am Jewish; the marked institutional preference for Botvinnik, who was seen as a model Soviet champion...There was psychological pressure in the air, and it seemed that winning could bring me serious harm, which is not to say that I lost deliberately..."

[Below are three more quotes from the same article, not my translations.]

"Bronstein spoke of the influence of his father, a rebellious defender of democracy. ‘From him I inherited that trait: when I am forbidden to do something, I rebel.’"

"‘You have the impression that I am modest. I am not. I know that I am good, and even very good. Do you know why I like Leonardo da Vinci? Because he believed that for him nothing was impossible. I too believe that for me nothing is impossible in chess, so you can see that I am not as modest as you think.’"

"Most of the nice words and elegant expressions in [Zurich International Chess Tournament, 1953] overall are the work of Vainstein, who writes very well ... Of course, the analysis and technical concepts are mine, as are the views on my rivals, but it may be said that a large part of the text is by [Boris] Vainstein. Also, it is a book for which I do not have particular affection because it reminds me of a tournament that was very special in a negative sense. Things happened there that I should like to forget ... We shall discuss that another time. I do not wish to be more specific for the moment."
