Dec-11-03		Kenkaku: 28...exf6 29. Qh8+ Kf7 30. Rh7+ Nxh7 31. Qxf7+ Kf8 32. Bh6#

Dec-11-03		PizzatheHut: Am I missing something or does 28...exf6 29. Bxf6 Qd7 30. Qh8+ Kf7 31. Qg7# work also?

Dec-11-03		Chessical: <Pizzathe hut> 28...exf6 29. Bxf6 <Re1+> 30.Qxe1 Qxf6 spoils White's position. Kenkaku's line is a forced mate.

Dec-11-03		PizzatheHut: <Chessical> Ah, the joys of patzerism :) Thanks for the help.

Dec-12-03		humblespirit: Kenkaku, i believe you meant 31.Qxh7+ instead of 31.Qxf7+.

Mar-12-04		Checkmate123: Classical example of Marcozy bind

Jul-04-05		jamesmaskell: Wow...brilliant game by Portisch. I know very little about Maroczy binds but after seeing this game perhaps its best to have a look at it.

Jul-04-05		iron maiden: Who was it that said all of Portisch's notable games were losses?

Jul-06-05		MrSifter: Korchnoi?

Jan-23-06		RookFile: I think 14. f4 is the best move of the game. Really sharp, very incisive.

Jan-23-06		Boomie: Portisch seems to have an unblemished record against Reshevsky, a claim Korchnoi can't make. I wonder if anyone else played more than 10 games against Reshevsky without a loss.

Jan-23-06		Dick Brain: I dont think Portisch ever met Reshevsky during the years when the latter was a serious world contender.

Jan-24-06		plang: That's because Portisch wasn't born yet.

May-01-07		noiselesion: <Kenkaku> (28...exf6 29. Qh8+ Kf7 30. Rh7+ Nxh7 31. Qxf7+ Kf8 32. Bh6#) It is: 29.Qh7+ not Qf7

Jan-07-08		chancho: Portisch also had the Indian sign on Petrosian for a while there.

May-06-08		Keano: Well, I wouldnt get carried away with this game - I know its quoted by Khalifman and others as a textbook example to prove Blacks move-order is inaccurate, but frankly I fail to see any problem with Blacks game. I dont like Whites pawn on f4 - 17...Qb6! looks like the best way for Black to influence the dark squares. Verdict = No problems for Black.

May-27-08		whiteshark: <Keano> I doubt that your <<17...Qb6!> looks like the best way for Black to influence the dark squares. <Verdict = No problems for Black.>> will stand a deeper analysis. <18.f5 Bd7 19.Rce1> as a first indication.

Aug-05-10		BISHOP TAL: Portisch plays the Maroczy almost perfectly here.
