Jun-26-04		patzer2: Portisch's early 11. Bxh2+!! looks like an opening trap in this Nimzo-Indian attack. The game is listed as number 1613 in the Encyclopedia of Middle Games (Demolition of Pawn Structure: Sacrifice on h2). Declining the Bishop sacrifice loses for Black after 11...Kh8 12. Ng5! g6 13. Qg4! . Forced was 13...Qxg5 because the alternative is mate-in-five after 13...Re8 14. Qxf7+ Kh8 15. Qh5+ Kg8 16. Qh7+ Kf8 17. Qh8 Ke7 18. Qxg7#

Oct-31-04		An Englishman: Good Evening: I wonder if this game provoked Hubner into analyzing 5...Nc6; 6.Nf3,Bxc3+ and making it his own. Certainly, by 1970 he was scalping some of the best players in the world.

Jan-10-09		sfm: As we know now Black is in grave danger after 8.e4. But what is the best response then? 8.-,h6 , 8.-,g6 or 8.-,e6 ? Surely LP knew it was over after 9.e5. But there´s hardly a defense.

Feb-16-12		waustad: Lifetime Donner didn't do that well against Portisch, but this time he got him.
