Hi:  the games of Bronstein-versus-computers seem like great games from the
standpoint of "human style versus computer style".  Are these games available
anywhere?

(I will always think of Bronstein as a World Champion, which he likely would
have been except for some skullduggery by the KGB; but that's off-topic.)
