{Paul Keres (January 7, 1916 â€" June 5, 1975) was an Estonian chess
grandmaster, and a renowned chess writer. He was among the world's top players
from the mid-1930s to the mid-1960s. Keres narrowly missed a chance at a
world championship match on five occasions. He won the 1938 AVRO tournament,
which led to negotiations for a title match against champion Alexander
Alekhine, but the match never took place due to World War II. After the war
Keres was runner-up in the Candidates' Tournament on four consecutive
occasions. Due to these and other strong results, many chess historians
consider Keres the strongest player never to become world champion. He was
nicknamed "Paul the Second", "The Eternal Second" and "The Crown Prince of
Chess".[1] Keres was the only player in chess history to defeat nine
undisputed world champions.}
