πŸ”΅ About Paul Keres

πŸ”Ή Paul Keres
πŸ”Ή Estonian chess grandmaster

πŸ“š 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.

πŸ”˜ Born: January 7, 1916
Narva, Russian Empire
πŸ”˜ Died: June 5, 1975 (aged 59)
Helsinki, Finland
πŸ”˜ Title: Grandmaster
πŸ”˜ Peak rating: 2615 (July 1971)

πŸ“š 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 13Β½/14 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.

πŸ“š 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.

πŸ“š 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".
