teen. Portisch suffered his fir~ 1 and only defeat, at Ihe hands of Nci, and drOIJped to Ihird place. Hungarian grandmaster Portisch i~ con· iinually improving and in all recent tour· naments has ranked first or in one of the highest places. He plays hard and dry positional chess without any fantasy. His chief characteristic~ are precision and an unremitting stubbornne~s. As long as the tournament lasts, he is in terested in nothing else, and his tournament regime is like that of a uescrt ascetic from the Bible. Keres' role at this tournament was Ihe most difficult if only because he is always expected to be in first place. With a few whole points in the last rounds, he finally succeeded in embarking in the first class car. The resul t obtained by Nivo Nei, sharing fi rst with Keres, was certainly the biggest ~llrJlrise of the tournament. Born in 1931 in Tallin (formerly Rcvel), Estonia, he is Keres counlryman. He does not pos· sess the grandmaster title but did fulfill Beverwijk banquet: see Paul Keres, twisting your way, near ext reme upper left the FIDE for it at this tonrnament.
