With the first half over, it seems pretty certain that the American master will win. Of course, there are still seven rounds to play, but Keres is already one and a half points back, the other players even more. The current and the two former World Champions are far behind. I am a bit worried about the situation in Europe, but if it won't destabilize, I expect to see Fine, or even Keres, to play against Alekhine for the world title in the next few years.

Their opinion would be much appreciated.

I assume AVRO is Algemene Vereniging Radio Omroep or in English "General Association of Radio Broadcasting" which was was a Dutch public broadcasting association operating within the framework of the Nederlandse Publieke Omroep system, established in July 1923 and got dissolved in September 2014.
