Alekhine suffers one of the shortest defeats in his career after leaving his king in the center too long. Even world champions cannot violate basic principles, and this incisive victory, coupled with a tie for first, firmly established young Keres (then 21) as a leading contender for the title.
keres and alekhine are two of my favorites of all time, thanks for the great game
nice!
A really great game from two of the finest in chess. Paul Keres is one of my favorites.
