Jan-20-06		tpstar: I love 9. Nf4, but next time I'll try 11. ef+ Nxf6 12. Ng6+ hxg6 13. Qxh8 Opening Explorer because this line still wins the exchange but otherwise the Nc5 plus the Nd4 are just too powerful. tpstar-sergiogvh (QueenAlice 12/28/05) [Fritz 7]: 11.

Jun-27-08		gars: I must study this game time and again before saying anything. Anyway, I did not believe Portisch was such a cold-blooded player!

Jul-02-08		gars: It seems to me that after move 14 White is better. How can Black win after only ten moves? As I said, I must play this game over time and again...
