The series of games won recently by Keres leaves no doubt as to his ascendency among the younger masters. His aggressive style makes the defender proceed with care, and if the defender blunders, allowing an easy win, Keres has indeed been fortunate; but at least he has set the stage, as it were, ready to capitalize on blunders. This game, from the Margate tournament, shows the once invincible Alekhine weakening in a difficult position.
Paul Keres vs Alexander Alekhine
Margate (1937), Margate ENG, rd 7, Apr-07
Spanish Game: Morphy Defense. Modern Steinitz Defense (C71) 1-0
One of the most pleasing characteristics of Paul Keres' play is his daring. In this game, for example, from the Margate tournament, as early as the seventh move he is a P behind. Of course, there are compensations, both in development and attacking chances, so that before long his opponent found himself in difficulties rendered more grave by the young Estonian's alertness to combinative possibilities.
