| siimens: during his career which lasted decades Keres won the world champions from Lasker to Karpov at least once,
this is the only win against Alekhine |
 |

| ughaibu: Siimens: When did Keres play Lasker? |
|
| Aug-19-03 |
| Legend: Keres never played Lasker, but i know they once had a conversation though. |
|
| Sep-15-03 |
| sleepkid: If I remember right, Keres and Lasker played together, but it was Bridge, and not chess. Or was it Najdorf who played Bridge with Lasker? Perhaps it was both. |

| gentle75: My point is that Alechine is evedently plaiying to win and so took a lot of risk with: 13 ... g5 - weekening his king side. |

| jesterco12: I'm new, so I'm probably missing something here, but what is wrong with 20...Ba4 ? It threatens both the rook and the queen? |
|
| Mar-23-04 |
| ruylopez900: <jesterco> White wriggles out of your impressive move with 21. Qf5+. Now Keres either exchanges off Queens and Rooks (if Alekhine blocks with the Queen) or Rooks (If Alekhine blocks with Rook or moves his King off. |

| drukenknight: it is a very similar problem to that blunder we saw in REshevsky/Fischer, 1970 w/ the Q and R operating on different files, the R on the back rank has problem in capturing. |

| Jim Bartle: Amazing how long the careers of top players can be. It's hard to conceive of Keres even playing Alekhine. I think of them as being from two totally different eras. Feels like learning about a long-lost fight between Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali... |
|
| Mar-24-04 |
| ughaibu: Jim Bartle: Steinitz played with Lasker who played with Botvinnik who played with Spassky who played with Kasparov, it's all very close. |
|
| Mar-24-04 |
| ruylopez900: To lengthen uighaibu's chain... Anderssen played Steinitz played Lasker played Botvinnik played Spassky played Kasparov played Carlsen. Seven generations of chess players. Games spanning 1845-2004! |

| tomh72000: And the similar chain that portrays the world champions from Steintz to Kramnik is why the FIDE knockout tournamnents were and still are a farce. |
|
| Nov-02-04 |
| Bobak Zahmat: Alekhine has made a great blunder with 22. ... Qb4, not typical something for him to do that. |
|
| Apr-22-05 |
| aw1988: I don't know why, but this reminds me of that Alekhine-Book game. |
|

| THE pawn: <ruylopez900>
Did Karkajin play Carlsen? |
|

 |
| iron maiden: They played at Wijk aan Zee this year. Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2005. |

| Calli: Longest chain I can think of: 1) Henry Bird participant in the first International Tournament in 1851 He later played 2) Jacques Mieses who once played 3) Andre Lilienthal who I believe is still alive. Three who pretty much played everyone in the last 150 yrs! |

 |
| chancho: Paul Morphy played Adolf Anderssen, who played Wilhelm Steinitz, who played Emanuel Lasker, who played Mikhail Botvinnik, who played Boris Spassky, who played Garry Kasparov, who played Magnus Carlsen. |

| aazqua: Black looks BAD in this game. Clearly a bad opening and then a sad decline. Not what you would expect, although Alekhine was of another time. |
|
| May-05-07 |
| Fast Gun: Keres only win against Alekhine. How is it possible for a tactical genius like Alekhine to fall for Qxd7+? The master of tactics is hoist by his own petard!! Keres was no slouch either when it came to tactics, he could not have believed it when Alekhine played Qb4??: |
|

 |
| Prudov: According to Keres, the game would be lost anyway for black.
However, Alekhin should have played 21. … Rxf6 instead of 21. … Qxf6. He told Keres after the game that he had feared 22. Qxh7, but Keres under time pressure would have answered 22. Qd4. |

| drnooo: Looking at the record of these two, it seems clear that Keres was suffering from the throes of the war, and may have once again been throwing the games to somebody whom he owed subsistance. May have. Before being behind enemy lines, so to speak, he and Alekhine were about equal. Also at the time Keres was probably the best player in the world. He was losing often before the German invasion, and after VE day the only one he lost much to was Botvinnik and we know the rumors there that Stalin wanted his head and Botvinnik interceded. |
|
| Mar-29-09 |
| ROO.BOOKAROO: It's easy to call 21 .... Qb4 a blunder. But what did Alekhine have in mind? I mean, what was his intention. And was not a simple 21 ... Qf7 enough to protect against the immediate future? No matter what the computers see further down the line. |
|
| Aug-08-09 |
| tentsewang: By sacrificing his queen to bishop, he wing with his e Rook and the following d rook. |
|
| Sep-24-09 |
| WhiteRook48: of course with the 21...QF7 black is temporarily safe |
