Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-18-05  bernieno: A brilliant game from Keres with all his trademarks: Taking control of the centre, activating his pieces very well and a great attack to finnish of the game.
Jun-19-15  zydeco: Keres controls the whole game. 15.Ne5 and 17.Qxd7 also look like reasonable alternatives to what he played.
