This game played between Paul Keres vs Vladas Mikenas soon turns into a sharp battle where complications arise unexpectedly, resulting a sharp combinative game. Despite the fact that both players were in their “comfortable” years, they get mad at each other like old lions, showing no mercy! Sacrifices are all over the board and if you are an attacking chess aficionado you will enjoy this game greatly!
