There have already been a couple of events to celebrate the anniversary, and Estonia have commemorated Keres by issuing a 2 euro coin with his picture on it (he previously appeared on the Estonian 5 Krooni note)
He first became widely known at the 1935 Olympiad, with his win over William Winter being quite well known. However he scored a number of brilliant wins at this event, including the following game against Gideon Stahlberg.

Awesome game by Keres - the Black queen and knight are no match for the four co-ordinated White pieces.
