🔵 About Paul Keres
🔹 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.
🔘 Born: January 7, 1916
Narva, Russian Empire
🔘 Died: June 5, 1975 (aged 59)
Helsinki, Finland
🔘 Title: Grandmaster
🔘 Peak rating: 2615 (July 1971)
📚 Paul Keres was born in Narva, Estonia, where he would reside his entire life. He was very active in correspondence chess throughout his youth, and soon began to make a name for himself at over-the-board play as well with a series of tournament victories culminating with a tie for first at AVRO (1938). Keres was thrice Soviet Champion, in 1947 [rusbase-1], 1950 [rusbase-2], and 1951 [rusbase-3]. In 1948, Keres participated in the World Championship tournament to determine a successor to Alexander Alekhine, finishing joint third. This would turn out to be the only opportunity Keres would ever have to play for the world title--he finished second ex aequo or outright four times in the five Candidates' tournaments, from 1950 to 1962 inclusive, but never won.
Keres scored 13½/14 at the 11th Olympiad in Amsterdam 1954 and in 1963, he won at Los Angeles ... (sharing first place with Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian).
Keres suffered a fatal heart attack in Helsinki on the way home from a tournament in Vancouver in 1975, at the age of fifty-nine.
📚 Keres is the player who has defeated the largest number of world champions, no fewer than nine: Capablanca, Alekhine, Euwe, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal, Petrosian, Spassky, and Fischer.
📚 With his five second-place finishes in Candidates events and his results against world champions, Keres was often known as "Paul, the Second" and "The Uncrowned King".
