🔸 Chess Grandmaster and Writer

♦️ 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

🔹 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.

♦️ A memorable game by Keres against Alexnder Alekhine which have won in 23 moves by a tactical game!!

📕 25.Re5!
White has enough compensation for a pawn due to the black bad bishop on b7.
25.Bxd5+ Bxd5 26.Qxd5+ Black has gotten rid of his bad bishop but White is slightly better here.
25.c6? for what? 25...Bxc6 26.Bxd5+ Bxd5 27.Qxd5+ Kh8=

📕 13...b3!
An excellent jolt, reminding white that he does not possess the most important file! The pawn sacrifice has exposed White's king.
