WhoKeres
Member since Jan-10-03 · Last seen May-15-25
I have been playing for over 25 years. I was an OTB USCF expert and still an A player. I am a CM in correspondence chess. Keres is my favorite player, but my playing style is more like Botvinnik or Nimzovich, though I have far less ability than they did!

   Dec-28-24 Lombardy vs A Bisguier, 1958
 
WhoKeres: An unusual defense to the Catalan by Bisguier. Some precise calculation over the last five moves brings him a draw.
 
   Nov-29-24 Vidmar vs K Opocensky, 1932 (replies)
 
WhoKeres: Not often you see a faux Queen sacrifice as part of a repetition of position draw. Opocensky plays the Budapest Gambit as well as possible in this game and gets a hard earned draw with GM Vidmar.
 
   Oct-12-24 von Bardeleben vs Tarrasch, 1895
 
WhoKeres: 17...Ra1 looks like a better try to keep white tied up. Tarrasch's 17...Rh6 was too slow, allowing von Bardeleben to consolidate and gain the advantage. Tarrasch played like Tal in the opening in this game!
 
   Sep-24-23 Reshevsky vs A Beliavsky, 1978
 
WhoKeres: A cute finish to a well played game by Reshevsky. Hard to believe he was 67 years old and could still play this well! He was a great fighter his entire chess career.
 
   Apr-14-22 Vaganian vs Bronstein, 1978
 
WhoKeres: Very nice technique from Vaganian after an uncharacteristically passive opening from Bronstein.
 
   Nov-13-21 Keres vs Smejkal, 1971
 
WhoKeres: You don't see rook drops like this very often! Smejkal must have been in time pressure, but it's still shocking...36...Rxb2??
 
   Oct-23-21 Blackburne vs Steinitz, 1876 (replies)
 
WhoKeres: It was in the mid-1870's that Steinitz changed his style to include a more positional foundation to his games. You'd never know that by playing over this tactical melee. I think Steinitz's predominant trait with black was his desire to adopt plans where he was up material; his ...
 
   Aug-14-21 M Ujtelky vs J Dolezal, 1955
 
WhoKeres: A nicely calculated finish!
 
   Apr-02-21 U Tarve vs Keres, 1969 (replies)
 
WhoKeres: Keres' tactical eye was still sharp, picking up white's wayward knight with 24...ra6. White could have tried 23. b5 to maintain equality. The hallmark of Keres' play is his piece activity and coordination.
 
   Feb-17-21 Keres vs V Shiyanovsky, 1961
 
WhoKeres: Crystal clear middle game strategy by Keres. His Q side initiative is way too fast for black to counter. Not the typical king hunt you'd expect from the great attacker!
