Paul Keres in ChessBase Magazine #199
Paul Keres, who was born on January 7, 1916 in Narva, in Estonia, and died from a heart attack on June 5, 1975 in a hospital in Helsinki, while returning from a tournament in Vancouver, Canada, is a true chess legend.
In 1938, at the age of 22, Keres won the AVRO tournament, in which eight of the world's top players of that time took part, and established himself among the world's best. After this victory, he hoped to get the chance to play a match for the world championship against Alexander Alekhine, but such a match never came to pass. The 1938 AVRO tournament is also the main topic in ChessBase Magazine #199 (see below).
