KERES
Paul Keres, the forty-year-old Esthonian-born Soviet master; has been in the news on several counts recently; he was second to Smyslov in the, candidates' tournament, since then he has beaten the West German champion Unzicker by the decisive margin of 6-2 (4 wins, 4 draws, () losses), and his masterly work on the open game covering all the 1 P-K 4, P-K 4; openings has just been translated from Russian into German and is available in this country.
