Keres was indeed a fighter. To calculate that precisely where every move seemed to teeter on disaster was brilliant.

At my level of skill (I'm guessing somewhere around 1600), usually draws are a little boring to watch. This game was absolutely brilliant (your excellent pithy analysis helped me greatly to understand what was going on)! Two fantastic players. I am Fischer fan--I was a teenager when he won the championship in 1972. Thank you!

Excellent choice. Fantastic work to prepare this video. I studied this game many times when I was much younger, but your discussion of all the traps and defense really is enlightening. I remember that it was a quite a fight but Fischer was unable to win with two connected passers. Qe5 could have led to 1-0, we will never know!

Many contemporaries now claim that Magnus Carlsen is the strongest endgame player of all times - and of course the strongest player of all times -, but having seen this supreme handling of the endgame by both, fischer AND keres, i seriously doubt this. Thank you for showing us this amazing game on a ridiculously high level! It's been a true pleasure to watch.

what if fischer promoted to a rook instead of sacrificing the queen for the bishop? preventing the stalemate line since rook takes at the end of the line would leave white with a square

Your question makes sense only in the context of "Who was the strongest player in the world, meaning the #1, at some point in time, and yet did not win the World Champion title?". That does not include players who might have been #2 in the world, and failed to win the WC. Akiba Rubinstein was a very strong player and there were times when he was playing as well as any of his peers, but I don't believe there was any point in his career, he was THE strongest in the world and would have beaten either Capablanca or Alekhine in a match. IMHO, Rubinstein would be a player in the category of Aaron Nimzowitsch. They had their moments and they had their share of wins against players who did become WC, but it is unlikely either would have beaten either Capablanca or Alekhine in a match. IMHO, the three strongest players to never become the world champion are Paul Keres, Samuel Reshevsky and David Bronstein. There were points in time when each of these was indeed the strongest player in the world. With Keres, it was unlucky timing and effects of war. With Reshevsky, it was the unfairness of the Soviet machinery vs. an individual and the unlucky timings of war. With Bronstein, the Soviet apparatus forced him to throw the match to Botvinnik. Without that, I believe Bronstein would have beaten Botvinnik. As for Korchnoi, in 1975, under fair circumstances, I believe he would have beaten Karpov in a match, but would have lost to Fischer, as Karpov also likely would have. In 1975, neither was #1 in the world, ahead of Bobby Fischer. The Soviets threw Korchnoi under the bus because they liked their odds better with Karpov, but neither was really #1, ahead of Fischer at that time. However, by 1978, Karpov had pulled way ahead of the field and I believe he would have beaten anyone in a match, including Fischer. So as amazing a career as Korchnoi had, he was never #1 in the world. Ditto for Fabiano Caruana, he was never the strongest player in the world. He was at best #2, as have been Hikaru Nakamura and Jan Nepomniachtchi at different times. But they always had a firm #1 above them in Magnus Carlsen, so none of these other players was ever the strongest player, and yet failed to win the WCC. So as much as I like and admire Fabi, I don't think he belongs to this list either. To summarize, IMO, since the time there have been formal World Champion titles (Paul Morphy should have been one too), there were only three players in the modern context who were the strongest in the world at some point in their careers, but failed to obtain the World Champion title, and they were Keres, Reshevsky and Bronstein. Cheers, RP

Dr. Fine said Keres was very anti-communist which was a factor in the soviet swine never giving him a title shot.
