✴️ Paul Keres
Estonian chess grandmaster

🔰 Paul Keres was an Estonian chess grandmaster and chess writer. He was among the world's top players from the mid-1930s to the mid-1960s. Keres narrowly missed a chance at a world championship match on five occasions.

🔘Full name: Paul Keres
🔘Country: Estonia
🔺Soviet Union
🔘Born: January 7, 1916
🔺Narva, Russian Empire
🔘Died: June 5, 1975 (aged 59)
🔺Helsinki, Finland
🔘Title Grandmaster
🔘Peak rating: 2615 (July 1971)

🔰 Paul Keres achieved a very good result at the age of 17 in a Master tournament at Tallinn 1933 with 5/7 (+5−2=0), tied 3rd–4th, half a point behind joint winners Paul Felix Schmidt and V. Kappe. Keres became champion of Estonia for the first time in 1935. He tied for first (+5−2=1) with Gunnar Friedemann in the tournament, then defeated him (+2−1=0) in the playoff match. In April 1935, Keres defeated Feliks Kibbermann, one of Tartu's leading masters, in a training match, by (+3−1=0).[6]
He played on top board for Estonia in the 6th Chess Olympiad at Warsaw 1935, and was regarded as the new star, admired for his dashing style. His success there gave him the confidence to venture onto the international circuit.
