Bronstein lost only one game in the entire tournament: against underdog Radolfo Tan Cardoso in the last round. Had Bronstein won this game, he would have qualified for the 1959 Candidates Tournament.
But in round 6 Bronstein also missed a good opportunity to gain ground on Fischer. In a better endgame Bronstein couldn't find a win and allowed Fischer to save a draw.
But did Bronstein really miss a win or was the position indeed drawn? Zoran Petronijevic and Karsten Müller took a close look at the endgame and invite you to join them in the search for a win for Black.
