| notyetagm: I once saw Paul Keres play the exact same type of sacrifice as Radjabov's 14 ...  g4xe3!, in one of the two volumes of Keres' best games edited by Nunn. Keres had White and played the mirror , xe6! sacrifice to setup a <RELOADER> with <CHECK> on d5, just like Radjabov did.<<Does any Keres fan know which Keres game I am talking about?>> I seem to recall it was a miniature or near miniature and I think it may have been against the Petroff defense. Thanks |

| Karpova: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... According to Kashdan (in the tournament book on the "First Piatigorsky Cup") Keres had adjourned games with Benko and Panno. Keres became ill and therefore couldn't resume the games so he wanted to postpone them. Since he had a decisive advantage in both games, Benko and Panno resigned instead of postponing. This is the Panno game:
Panno vs Keres, 1963 (round 10, their other encounter ended 1/2) Which Benko game might be the adjourned one?
Keres vs Benko, 1963 (Round 9)
Benko vs Keres, 1963 (Round 2) |

| brankat: <karpova> It was round #9 game. The game was played on July, 17, and the one against Panno on the eighteenth. They were both adjourned, then Keres got ill. |

| brankat: <karpova> Yes, it is a well written book, and Mr.Kashdan is a very reliable source of information. |

| MichAdams: Keres, Alekhine and Fischer are the only leading players I have found on <cg.com> with an overall record % above 70 ( naturally, I exclude Morphy whose record is over 80). Have I missed anyone? |

| Gypsy: Jose Raul Capablanca |
|
| Mar-21-08 |
| MichAdams: Oops! |
|

 |
| Ron: Well, Karpov and Kasparov are below 70 percent but that can be due to them playing each other alot. |
|
| Mar-21-08 |
| MichAdams: Excuses, excuses.... |

| shakkiseepra: Hi, I'll ask here since I couldn't find any other way: Can anyone give me any info on the Tallin chess culture? I'd be especially interested in places where they sell chess products (boards, pieces etc.. Also, are there any public playing spots, for instance such parks? How about Keres' statue or grave? All help is appreciated, maybe an Estonian users would also like to give me some basic info on chess in Estonia in general. |

| seaotter: A gentlemen, a Modern Morphy, and Ambassador to chess. If the Russians had not occupied Estonia after the War,... like Korchnoi, Paul Keres would of been free of the oppressive psychological pressure of being a captured pawn vs. reigning King of Chess. |
|
Apr-30-08
|
| seaotter: Oh, one last thought what other player(s) has a 70+ winning percentage? It is a question. |
|
Apr-30-08
|
| seaotter: Morphy = 84.4%, but only 482 games
Capablanca = 72% but less then a 1000 games
Fischer = +70% also, but not as many games against high class competition,... |

| drnooo: If you look at the Keres closely you almost have to conclude that he probably saw no reason to rock the KGB boat, period. Everybody knew how very good he was, Stalin wanted him a lot more than excommunicated, try exterminated, and it gets pretty cold in Siberia in your underwear and nothing more than a pocket chess set.
Look at his record against the rest of the top soviet players. The scalps of practially all of them hang over his fireplace. Talentwise, he certainly belongs in a very, very select circle. Not to mention that along with Tal, he turned the game into a gentleman's sport. Too few like him, a great man. |

| brankat: If You look at Keres closely You have to conclude that on every occasion over a period of some 20 years, whenever it mattered the most, others were more prepared, focused, determined, stronger, successful. In other words Better, therefore more Deserving.
That Mr.Paul Keres was a fine gentleman, about that there is no doubt. |
