An annual international chess tournament has been held in Tallinn every other year since 1969. Keres won this tournament in 1971 and 1975. Starting in 1977 after Keres' death, it has been called the Paul Keres Memorial Tournament. From 1991, the tournament has been held yearly and changed into a rapid event. From 1999 this tournament also had a women's section. In the past twenty years, apart from this rapid tournament, several other memorial tournaments have been played in honor of Keres. The first memorial tournament, this one, was won by Mikhail Tal with a score of 11 a full point ahead of second place finisher Oleg Romanisin. Third was captured by Aivar Gipslis with 9 1/2 points. Tied for fourth through sixth was David Bronstein, Boriss Gulko and Wolfgang Uhlmann each with a score of 9. Seventh through tenth with scores of 8 were Laszlo Vadasz, Hillar Karner, Wolfgang Unzicker and Dragoljub Verlimirovic. Alone in eleventh was Livo Nei with a score of 6.5, and descending order were Josef Pribyl with 6, Pertti Poutiainen with 5.5, Axel Ornstein with 5, Harry Pohla with 4 and Valter Heurer with 3.5.
