Mar-02-04		Calli: Strange opening from Keres and steady play from Herr Schmidt. In fact, Keres was only 7-6 lifetime against him according to the Chessgames DB.

Dec-26-06		who: 22...Nxf3+ looks like an improvement.

Dec-26-06		laskereshevsky: hello "nemo profeta in patria"

Feb-23-07		Gypsy: <who: 22...Nxf3+ looks like an improvement.> Black is in check.

Jul-25-13		jerseybob: Calli: Despite the name, Schmidt was not a German, but Estonian just like Keres.

Jul-26-13		jerseybob: Keres makes a flukey pawn sac early on, but Schmidt grabs the loot and weathers all of Keres' threats, threats that might have sunk a lesser player. Later, he gives back the pawn to eliminate a strong knight, and knifes through black's weakened position. A great performance.
