| Aug-17-17 | | Keyser Soze: 21.g7 !! Great game. But this game was GOTD more than once, huh? |

 | | perfidious: Even without the charts produced by <zed>, it is clear to the knowledgeable observer that Portisch was a redoubtable force at the highest level; in my opinion, he displayed a certain psychological instability at crucial moments, which evinced itself in world title qualifiers on several occasions. By the late 1960s, Portisch was one of very few players outside the Soviet Union who could compete with their elite. |
|
| Aug-17-17 | | Pantagruel: Nice choice of game of the day, obviously in observance of the return of Garry Kasparov to tournament play after over a decade of absence. At St. Louis he showed that he can still hang with the world's best, although he's rusty and slow. I see great potential if Garry decides to reenter the scene. I hope he does, because it's great to see him back, and he's a true living legend. |
|
| Aug-17-17 | | The Kings Domain: Very Anderssen-like victory by a young Kasparov here on the brink to the top. Nice sacrificial flourish. |

 | | Fusilli: Fantastic Kasparov. One wonders how much he saw at the time of playing the bishop sac, since what followed wasn't forced at all. Yet, one leaves with the impression that Portisch, who was always admirable in defense, played the best defense. 24...Bd6 would fail to 25.Qf6. I had to ask the engine to help me see this apparently simple move. |
|
| Sep-03-20 | | MordimerChess: Very interesting defensive ideas by Lajos Portisch. First one with Qc5, Rc7... if Garry plays 28. Rd3 (too early!), then:
Qxf2+!!
29. Rxf2 Rc1+ 30. Rf1 Bc5+ 31. Kh1 Rxf1#
29. Kxf2 Bc5+ 30. Ke1 Rxh7 31. Rxf6+ Ke7 32. Rf4 Rxh2∓ and black stands better, can try to go for the win Second one just before the end. White king is in mating net. 35.g5? would be losing, 35...Qxd4 wins the rook because of 36. Rxd4 Rc1+ 37. Rd1 Rxd1# Full video analysis:

Enjoy and learn! |

| Sep-04-20 | | sudoplatov: Amusing that Stockfish likes 15.Nd4 with a 2+Pawn advantage; Black must have gone wrong before. (Kasparov's move is stronger of course.) On move 21, SF likes Rh5 with again more than 2 Pawnsworth. And SF prefers 26...Qe5 on defense.
Slowly SF sees White's advantage grow. |

| Nov-13-20 | | fisayo123: Astonishing game by Kasparov that deserves all its platitudes. One of the best attacking games of all time and his play was faultless. |

 | | keypusher: Platitudes also works. God knows the game has gotten plenty. |
|
| Dec-31-21 | | e4Newman: never in a million years will i see these moves. just watched a kasparov interview where he said he thought about 21.Bxg7 for about 20 minutes. Saw it after 10 minutes then analyzed for another 10 |
|
| Jan-01-22 | | SChesshevsky: <never in a million years will i see these moves...> Kasparov calculation and on the attack is really something. Coincendently, at the beginning of a recent Svidler video at YouTube kasparov chess, Garry talks about calculation and gives a similar attack example to this game. A great resource to help recognize these attack chances is the book "Art of chess combination" by Knosko-Borovsky. I found it not an easy read but full of info. Think it was Silman, or maybe Soltis, who said the book added something like a couple hundred rating points. |
|
| Mar-14-22 | | HarryP: A beautiful win against a distinguished player. Portisch was a tough customer, but Garry smokes him. |

Jan-29-25
| | perfidious: <saturn2>, in his remarks on Koneru vs Z Nemeth, 2005, noted that this was yet another example of the double bishop sacrifice. While I agree to a point, this concept by Kasparov is, in my opinion, incomparably finer because it was far from clear how to keep the momentum going after the double blow against the king. This reminds me of some of Tal's obscure, yet ultimately successful ventures into the wild such as Tal vs H Hecht, 1962. |
