Tournament Review

A Strong Tradition

The international tournament in Tallinn dedicated to the memory of Paul Keres, which has already become a firmly established tradition, was won by Mikhail Tal and Rafael Vaganian. The appearance of these two grandmasters in the top two places of the final table was nothing new. In the summer of the previous year they had taken the leading places in the international tournament of the Moscow Regional Chess Club.

Since then Vaganian, playing very successfully, had won the First League of the 50th USSR Championship and then, with a substantial lead, triumphed in the New Year tournament at Hastings. Tal, meanwhile, had played in the Moscow Interzonal tournament and contested a match with Ulf Andersson.

It had often been said that the former world champion had an unfortunate “tradition” of losing in the first round. In Tallinn the order was reversed, and Tal’s first game went extremely well.

Rafael Vaganian began the event extremely strongly. He scored nine points in his first twelve games in dynamic and uncompromising play. It seemed that the Yerevan grandmaster would be unable to avoid winning the tournament outright. However, a stumble at the finish in his game against the Czechoslovak grandmaster Vlastimil Jansa allowed the fast-finishing Tal to catch the leader.

There were four undisputed favourites in the tournament: former world champions Tigran Petrosian and Mikhail Tal, and grandmasters Rafael Vaganian and Lev Psakhis. All of them were due to take part shortly afterwards in the jubilee 50th USSR Championship, and the Tallinn stage served as useful and timely preparation.

Organization of the Memorial

The organizers of the Keres Memorials approach the staging of these tournaments with great responsibility. Commemorative badges and emblems are issued, while score sheets, tables and envelopes for adjourned games are prepared and carefully designed. Even such a detail as ready-made diagram prints with the pieces already set up is not forgotten.

The tournaments are organized by the Paul Keres Chess House and the Estonian Chess Federation. Assistance and support are provided by republican organizations.

Some symbols in the game scores are difficult to read in the scan. The prose has been translated in full, but the move notation should be checked against an independent game source.
