  perfidious: I suspect the alternate score, giving 18. Rd1, is correct- it fits in with White's plan to blow open the centre with d4.

The first time I played through this game, I was impressed with Black's 23rd move; in my opinion, an aspiring player can learn more from such play than from a dozen sacrificial attacks.

The attack on White's king might well have been played by Keres himself.

True, and because otherwise 28...Rxc1 would hang the rook on e8.

  perfidious: This game score is wrong- Hooper and Whyld give 18.Rd1 as the way things went in their book Oxford Companion to Chess.
Apr-10-05  WMD: Don't get your hopes up of a correction. See: Keres vs Fine, 1937.

Could had played Keres the pseudo activ move 22.♙d4 versus Botvinnik?!... i dont think so. maybe the great Estonian player under stimated his German opponent, with the result we saw above.

In the Dresden 1936 tournament Engels was in a great shape. He losess only a game vs. Bogoljubov, winning 4 vs. Keres, Maroczy, Alekhine and a very creativ one with Helling

The final ranking in Dresden was:

1. Alekhine A * 0 ½ ½ 1 ½ 1 1 1 1 6.5
