| Aug-30-03 | | xu fei: I guess Portisch was flashy to a fault here. How he let this game get away is beyond me. And thanks to crafty for the help. |

| | offramp: I think that black can play a bit better than Crafty's suggestion: 15.Bxd4 dxe5 16.fxe5 Nxe5 17.Bxe5 Bxe5 18.Nxe5 Qd4± ...But that line is before Kavalek gave up his queen for a bishop and 2 pawns. I don't think Portisch made any major tactical errors; just a general strategic malaise. |

 | | Caissanist: Kavalek named 29 Rxd5 as the decisive error when he annotated the game for Chess Life and Review. I'm afraid I can't recall what the winning move would have been. However, I do remember that Ljubojevic demonstrated to him how, if he does not give up the exchange here, white can eventually simplify down to a won ending of queen and two pawns against bishop and six pawns. |

Here Sosonko thought that after 22.Qb1 "objectively speaking, White has winning chances." But Timman pointed out that Sosonko's suggested 22...Rb8 23.Rb2 could be met by 23...Rd6! 24.b7 Rxb7 25.Rxb7 Bxb7 26.Qxb7 Rxd3 and "the white king still cannot find a way out." It would be interesting to know what a computer makes of this analysis. |

| | Caissanist: Kavalek revisited this game earlier this year in his chess column (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy...). He now appears to believe that the sacrifice was sound--although white could have improved his play, black can still draw regardless. |
